STICK ’em up . . . The Black Pudding Gang Wild West from Blackpool
THRILL-seekers braved the wind and showers to enjoy an action-packed family fun day.
Oldham Lions hosted the event at Royton Park for the sixth year running and invited local charities and organisations to run stalls.
The group formed in 1974 to serve the community and is made up of volunteers who raise money for various good causes.
Members also visit old people’s homes to host bingo sessions as well as providing Christmas decorations and overnight packs for patients at the Royal Oldham Hospital.
Sunday’s event featured a fairground, a visit from the fire brigade and a Wild West Show.
