Community Fun Day 2009



















The annual Community Fun Day at Barnard Park, Crow Lane, was once again blessed with good weather – except for five minutes of ‘liquid sunshine’ mid afternoon - which didn’t detract from the enjoyment of the event in any way.
Local traders generously donated raffle and tombola prizes and fruit and vegetables were donated by the members of Monsdale allotments. Young people of Henbury, under the supervision of PC Nick Merrick, provided mouth-watering food and PCSO Mike Bettel made an excellent clown, giving out balloon sculptures crafted on site by PCSO Abby Elliot-Taylor. We raised a pleasing amount of funds on the day, which will be spent on elderly residents of Henbury and Brentry.
The organizers would like to thank all who helped in any way on the day and in the months leading up to it but thanks most of all to everyone who came along and supported us by enjoying the afternoon. If you didn’t come there would be no Fun Day!!
The idea of the event is always to provide something for all the residents of Henbury and Brentry to come to and enjoy and prove that we are a united community and that this is a good place to live.

Thanks to the teacher we find out that the name of the child who designed the reusable bag was Abby Young in Year 6 at Henbury Court Primary School and not Charlie Year 7, as stated in the newsletter
We would like to ask sorry for our mistake.
