People registered after breakfast for the annual Kenton Lions Club car rally. During a wonderful Harding Agricultural Society deep pit barbecue pork and beef supper with all the trimmings, winners of the poker hands were announced: first, Leith Corney second, Amber Raycroft and third, Ross Jay. Winners of the questionnaire were the Robin Hill family.
