This post is an active one and will grow throughout the day. This post is packed with photos, all will enlarge, just click on them.
By 10am the village is alive with people, the Odd Fellows have already visited 2 venues and quickly marching up the hill for their 3rd pint whilst the Village Market stall holders are busy preparing their goods for the start of the sales at 11am.
The 3rd stop for the marchers after The Sycamore and Flaxdale House is The Hall, with the Shields family serving refreshments for the thirsty participants, it’s a long way up the hill!
10.15 Some of the suspect faces up at The Hall.
Loads more photos of the day, just click.
11.40am After the church service it’s round to Croft Avenue, as at every venue there is a band of workers ready to satisfy the thirst of the marchers.
A pleasure to be a part of such a special village day.
11.45. Val and her team are all set up, just time for a quick cuppa before that Roast Beef Lunch is served.
2pm. Where are all the men? Of course! They are enjoying lunch, it’s been a hard mornings work!!
It is important not to forget the significance of these last two photos, this will be the last Wakes Week lunch in this Memorial Hall, next year will herald the OddFellows christening of the new Memorial Hall.
2.45. The village market is in full swing with lots of youngsters (and adults) enjoying themselves.
6.45. Carnival Time – Just a taster until tomorrow when there will be lots more photos.
8pm. There’s always one – the Viking savouring the success of winning, dancing to live music – Thanks to Chris & The A52’s.
8.30. All the fun of the fair.
9.15. So after almost 12 hours this reporter is signing off to join the rest of the Parwichians.

We’ve enjoyed Wakes Saturday before, so it is lovely to see the photos for this year. Have a great week.
The photos are fantasic, almost as good as being there!
The phots are great, well done for doing them so quickly, the kids have had a ball looking through spotting themselves!
