What a fantastic day for our Summer Fun event on Saturday. Despite the predicted poor weather, the sunshine held for us and we managed to miss all the rain.
We would like to thank everyone for attending on the day – it was nice to see so many old and new faces attend our event in Overdale. Thank you to all the entertainers and volunteers for their time and work in helping make this Summer Fun the most successful one yet.
Finally, a big thank you for the donations towards our chosen charity for the year – PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide – we raised £48.63 on the tea and coffee station!
