He said: "The clubs were all quite happy with how the fayre panned out. One of the things I was a little disappointed with was the lack of representation from a few sports, particularly football."
"I know a lot of the local football community have matches on Sundays.
"We'll speak to them again in the run-up to the 2008 fayres."
The sports council has already started planning for next year.
Mr Charles said: "We had a meeting on Monday night to discuss Sunday and how it went. We also decided to hold two fayres in 2008 - one in April and one in September, like we did this year.
"Hopefully we can get even more people involved next time.
