Egg Rolling at Easter

For as long as anybody can remember and no doubt before that children in the village have rolled eggs down Market Hill at Easter. The eggs are hard boiled for the event and some are painted. No, it's not Easter yet but nowadays it's done in term time before the school breaks up. A mark is made for the egg that went furthest. Up to now no children have been arrested - the health and safety brigade has not caught up with it yet.
