Each team took home a commemorative plaque and each individual received a certificate and medal to recognise their achievement. Lion Richard Johnson, Vice President of Haywards Heath Lions Club, who again organised the event said: “This is always a great day, I’m not sure who has the most fun – the Lions and their helpers or those taking part.
