Will Page Run: The Will Page 10 kms Run is being held on Sunday 27, start at 11 a.m. from the KGV Recreation Ground. This run was inaugurated by the Page family in memory of Will, a promising rugby player, who was tragically killed in a traffic accident. Originally an event for family, friends and Rugby club members it now forms part of the serious race calendar. The final straw for the recreational runners is the long uphill stretch into the village and finishing line.

A sad and sobering thought
