The Annual Club Walk.
Founded in 1822, The Witheridge Union Society existed to provide payments for medical attention, medicines and funeral expenses in all the parishes in Witheridge Hundred. Members had to pay sixpence a week, but funds were also raised by the annual Club Walk which took the form of a procession on Oak Apple Day (May 29) round the village led by the band and the Club Banner. Girls wore a sprig of Oak Apple, but, if they did not, the boys pinched them. There were sideshows, roundabouts, swing boats and a switch-back railway in The Square. People used to come from miles around and hundreds sat down to lunch in a marquee in Bell Close.
