A VARIETY of things ranging from eggs and wellies to Spitfires will be flying through the air this weekend at a charity fun day.

The World Custard Pie Championships will be just one of the highlights at the Rotary charity fun day on Sunday, to be held at the Kent county showground in Detling, Maidstone.

Contestants taking part in welly throwing, skipping contests and the pie championships will be rubbing shoulders with children’s favourites Bob the Builder and Fif and bumble from Fifi and the Flowertots at the event, which will run from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

The third Rotary day of its kind, it will feature stalls from 83 Rotary clubs across Kent, East Sussex and South East London, and will include displays of birds of prey, a freefall parachute team and a Second World War Spitfire.

Among teams squaring up to each other in the custard pie championships in the afternoon will be the Kent Messenger’s own Don’t Splat the Messenger team.

The event is also being supported by KM Group newspapers and kmfm radio.

Entry to the event is £5 for adults, £1 for children aged three to 14. Those under three get in free.

Up to two adults can each save £1 using the coupon on this page.
