the changing face of: Finstock
A donkey derby provided lots of laughs at the village fete in 1988.
Fifteen donkeys ridden by village children took part in six races on the playing fields off Hill Rise.
The fete raised £670 for Holy Trinity Church and the village hall.
Pupils at the village school joined in a field trip to the Forest of Dean in 1995 and brought back numerous items, including this piece of bark.
Douglas Graham and Lauren Webb, both 10, are seen measuring the thickness of the bark.
Children had a ‘number snail’ marked in the school playground to help them learn their sums.
Six-year-old Jessica King is pictured combining work with sums and fun in the playground in 1995.
