IN PICTURES: Family fun day takes community back to the 1970s

Families were invited to step back in time to the days of platform shoes, flares, orange and beige on Saturday July 18 at The New Chapel which hosted the event in partnership with Greylees Engagement Network.

There was lots of themed entertainment with the music hits of the decade and people were invited to join in the fancy dress vibe.

There were live musicians and vocalists throughout including Char Ann and a 70s show with Dusty Springfield tribute act.

For the children there were Heroes Assemble comic book characters posing for photos with young fans or they could meet a Disney princess.

There were lots of local stalls selling everything from plants to vintage clothing, a bouncy castle, face painter, barbecue and a fun dog show with prizes for everything from the best trick to the waggiest tail.

The Greylees Engagement Network, made up of local residents, puts on community events for the new village all year round and was promoting its regular monthly community litter picks to keep the area looking tidy – the next one will be on July 26 and the following one on August 30, 10am-11am. Other events include bingo and quizzes at Sleaford Golf Club, the Greylees Santa Dash on December 12 and Christmas carols on December 20.
