As August drew to a close in Lymington, residents at Court Lodge came together for a spirited afternoon of fun, laughter, and light-hearted competition. The care home’s Activities Lounge was transformed into the setting for a classic sports day, bringing a joyful close to the summer season.
Everyone had the chance to get involved, whether taking part in events or cheering from the side-lines with colourful pompoms.
Two teams — red and blue — competed enthusiastically in traditional games including the egg-and-spoon race, bean bag toss, and quoits.

The highlight for many was the sack race, which saw companions take on the leadership team to the delight of the residents.
The contest remained close throughout, but it was the blue team who eventually claimed victory.
Friends Margaret and Eileen led the celebrations, proudly accepting medals and trophies before joining fellow residents and staff for a well-earned cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake.
The sports day was just one of many activities on Court Lodge’s calendar, designed to keep residents engaged, active, and connected.
