The Olympics in Tokyo may have ended, but Elmsett Messy Church held thier own “Messy Olympics”. We had the long jump, hurdles, javelin / shot put / discus, showjumping, high jump, triathalon and boat race. (All “loosely” based on Olympic sports!)
We were blessed with 24 children and their parents / grandparents. As the event was held on our Village football pitch, we even had spectators – unlike Tokyo!
We even had our own Paralympian Evie Edwards who is about to fly out to Tokyo as part of the Team GB Boccia squad. She gave us a demonstration and all the children were able to have a go.
Several passers by commented on how nice it was to see the children’s smiling faces and hear the laughter and fun that everyone had.

Closing Ceremony
At the end, we had a closing ceremony where everyone got a gold medal and certificate, of course, and a posy and a chance to wear a real Team GB T shirt – one size “fits” all!
