On the water OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY FUN! Families turned out in droves when the sun put in a welcome appearance for what turned out to be a glorious fourth annual Bembridge Harbour Family Fun Weekend in July. With everything from hula-hooping demos and workshops to good old-fashioned egg and spoon and sack racing events, a sand castle building competition, paper boat race and crab-catching challenge, the weekend was a nostalgic reminder of bygone seaside holidays. For the grown-ups there was the pop-up horsebox bar, live music and dancing, a sand sculpture challenge and taster splash sessions on paddleboards and kayaks. A great weekend of fun – and all in support of Ryde Inshore Rescue Independent Lifeboat service. www.visitilife.com Aug/Sep 2016_MASTER .indd 71 71 16/08/2016 15:21
