On an overcast Sunday afternoon last week, yards of bunting and candy stripe tablecloths brought a welcome burst of colour at our Great Winter Get Together. Over fifty people of all ages and backgrounds took part in an afternoon of fun, community and delicious sustenance. Our new activity room saw local artists and artisans showcase their talents, with workshops ranging from clay moulding, treasure box painting and greeting card design, to the aromatic calm of lavender bag making. Our classroom was transformed into a buzzing hub of old-school board games (who doesn’t love Connect 4?) conversations with people, familiar and new, as everyone partook of an abundant spread of delicious food and drink.
A big shout out to the fantastic team of volunteers who gave up part of their weekend to help things run so smoothly with charm and enthusiasm.
Thank you to Westway Trust for funding the event.
