They all enjoyed coffee and cakes, along with barley banna.

The Cornet was asked to judge the ties and rosettes made by the youngsters. After asking his girlfriend Jill Oxley to help with a bit of extra advice, the Cornet presented the prize for best tie to Lewis Hall and best rosette to Ryan Wood.
