Youngsters in fancy dress enjoy some spooky fun at the event organised by the people's panel
YOUNGSTERS and their parents enjoyed an evening of spooky seasonal fun at a community pumpkin party.
Organised by Slade Green's people's panel, part of the area's Community Safety Action Zone, it was the panel's first community event.
More than 60 children enjoyed apple bobbing, bash the rat and using a police baton to smash open a hanging pumpkin stuffed with sweets.
There were also fancy dress and pumpkin head competitions, judged by Bexley mayor and mayoress Councillor John and Carol Eastaugh, who live in the area, and ward officer Sergeant Ross McKibbin, as well as a mass balloon release.
