Fantastic turnout for Easter Egg Trail at Sandringham

Priory Rotary club held their annual Easter Egg Trail at Sandringham on Sunday morning, again raising money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. Despite the cold and windy weather, with Easter Sunday in March this year and the day the clocks went back, families turned up in their hundreds, with long queues at the check in points before setting off.

The trail started at the grizzly bear outside the children's play area. From there, it wound its way through the woods, where participants had to find the 18 clues hidden along the way, leading them back to the finish where they collected their chocolate eggs generously provided by Kinnertons Chocolates in Fakenham.

The final tally showed just over 1,100 people tackled the trail, and a grand total of over £4,000 was raised. Thanks go to the Sandringham Estate for helping with the organisation and providing such an excellent venue for this event. Also, to the many Rotary volunteers on the day, ensuring the event ran smoothly.

"King Charles's Norfolk retreat has found an egg-cellent way to help the Prince of Wales old rescue organisation. Sandringham is to stage an Easter egg hunt around the Royal parkland in aid of East Anglian Air Ambulance, for which Prince William once worked as a pilot".
