Fun Day

The third fun day on Barnards Park, Crow Lane was opened this year by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress at midday on Saturday 30th August. They spent an hour walking around Barnards Park talking to local people and agencies. Once again the weather was good after such an awful summer. The road show was fantastic, which was provided by one of our resident’s son and made the fun day go with a swing.
The inflatable gladiators arena proved challenging for some as did the inflatable human table football. As well as the bouncy castle we also had a children’s roundabout and there were more stalls. We had an art & play workshop for children and young people, which was powered entirely by a bicycle and the circus entertainer also proved to be very popular as did the face painting. There ware not nearly enough wet sponges thrown at PCSO Abby Elliott-Taylor and PC Nick Merrick, so don’t be shy next year.

Henbury Community Council and Events Group members raised over £600 on the raffle: well done! Thank you to the traders who donated prizes for the raffle. Also thank you to the volunteers of St John’s Ambulance who fortunately did not have to be called upon for first aid.
Thank you to everyone who made the fun day a great success once again.
