Residents in Hemyock were invited to join in an Easter egg hunt in aid of the local pre-school back in 2001.

Posters went up in the village, giving people the chance to take part in the event organised as part of a fundraising drive.

Entrants paid 50p to choose a square on a grid map marking the spot where they thought the Easter egg was.

The grid references were then put into a hat, and the winner was drawn at the Easter bingo session on Thursday, April 5, 2001.
