Another great fun event at the Wimbledon Village Fair, Wimbledon Common, on SATURDAY 21 JUNE 2008 thanks to the crowds, the participants and our sponsor 'talkbackThames TV' producers of 'THE BILL'! This year we are collecting for Child Victims of Crime (CVOC) the only national Police children's charity to give support to children whose lives have been shattered by crimes such as violence, abuse and murder in the UK! Junior Event (11-16 years). Wimbledon Police Cadets took the winning trophy after battling against Ricard's High School for Girls and the All Stars. The arrival of TV Star LISA MAXWELL (D.I. Nixon in 'THE BILL' and a Patrol of CVOC) brightened the day as she signed autographs with each purchase of Bobby Bear (the first toy bear permitted to wear the official Metropolitan Police uniform) - proceeds go to the charity. Nearby, a veteran Police Dog drew the crowds even more as he demonstrated his skills in catching criminals 'on the run' with a brave police inspector acting as his prey. Lisa then officially opened the Men's Event in the afternoon where, several pulls later, the Winners' Cup was evenually relinquished by the Wimbledon Police in a well deserved win by the Wimbledon Common Rangers.
