Lane End Sports Association Ltd will be able to hold a 60th VE Day celebration with help from a Lottery award. The whole village will be invited to take part in the celebrations which will include a slide show by the local history group and ex-serviceman to raise awareness and understanding of the effects of the war in the village. A family sports day and 1940s swing dance will also give villagers the chance to taste life as it might have been in the 1940s.
