Fifty of Henbury and Brentry’s senior residents attended a lunch at Henbury School on Thursday 3rd June. They were picked up from their homes by mini buses and were served a delicious three-course meal in the school hall, which had been cooked by pupils of the school assisted by PC Nick Merrick. There was live music during the meal which was followed by a few games of cash-prize bingo then music to sing along to. Each guest went home with a small bag of home baked cakes for their tea.
Members of the Events Group were assisted by several girls from the school volunteering with Young Bristol, our own PCSOs and Community Safety Officers. Henbury School very kindly allowed us to use the hall and facilities free of charge. We would like to thank all those people who helped and say a special ‘Thank You’ to Nick, his wife, Lisa, and all the young people involved in making the day such a success.
There have been a lot of very favourable comments from the guests, who all seem to have had a really enjoyable day. Many are asking when the next one will be!! We would hope to be able to organize other events for the older generation of our area at a later date, so watch this space!
The afternoon was funded entirely by money collected during the Fun Day and the Christmas Cracker events last year. We would like to thank all those who gave so generously.
The collecting buckets will be out again this year!!
