A FUN day is taking place day at Osbaldwick Sports Club on Sunday – and it will raise funds for York’s St Leonard’s Hospice, too.

Traditional children’s events, like a sack race and three-legged race, will take place at the club’s ground at the Leyes in Osbaldwick, and there will be stalls, games, a bouncy castle and even events for dogs to entertain the crowds.

There will be three live bands, and refreshments will be available.

The event, which runs from noon to 5pm, is being organised by Peter Thompson, who runs the club’s open-age football team and is chairman of the social club.

The club will make a donation to St Leonard’s Hospice from the proceeds, in memory of a number of friends and relations of club members who have been cared for by the hospice.
