Sad news from Thorney...



 Farewell to the man who brought us The Lowland Games.

Richard England has passed away.

Thanks to him, his family and friends - us Westcountry folk have been entertained by the Lowland Games at Thorney for over 30 years.

The event and its spin-offs has raised over £100,000 for local good causes since its launch in the early 1980s.

Who else could've got almost a thousand spectators watching two people wrestling in a mud pit on the Somerset Levels?

Good times indeed.

Thanks for the laughs Mr England.
