Spooky goings on reported at KLTC on Saturday…..

Posted on October 26, 2019January 2, 2020 by Sue Beavis

At 5.30pm on Saturday evening local residents reported seeing vampires, werewolves, skeletons, witches and even a dinosaur! Little did they know it was the KLTC Halloween party.

Our juniors surpassed themselves this year with some spectacular costumes and it was wonderful to see so many of them joining in the fun.

The highlight of the evening had to be watching Team Matt v Team Dave wrapping each of the coaches up as mummies. Pete Wayborn cast the deciding vote which saw Team Dave win by a very small margin. I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves most, Matt, Dave or the kids.

Finally, a big thanks goes to all those involved, Sarah (whose cupcakes wend down a storm), Sue, Matt, Dave and not forgetting the clean up team, Pete and Karen.
