Christmas 2011 saw "THE CHRISTMAS CRACKER" and the HAMPER deliveries. Due to the inclement weather our contingency plan was bought into effect and the event was held at the Youth Centre, Machin Road.
Father Christmas ably assisted by Mrs Christmas, The Snowman, The Christmas Tree, Christmas Pudding, Toy Soldiers, Christmas Parcels and Elves distributed presents balloons and crackers to the children. We were entertained by the choir and band of Henbury School. A great time was had by all. Many thanks to all the helpers and Henbury School.
The following day saw the delivery of the hampers. Tim Parkinson and myself set off in our cars and with the help of four children from Henbury school, delivered sixty two hampers to the elderly. It proved an emotional experience with children, the elderly and ourselves sometimes with tears in our eyes. Thank you to Ayeshah, Brandon, Courtney and Gabbie.
This Christmas we shall be increasing the number of hampers yet again. Many thanks to the events group whose efforts made all this possible.
Because of the Jubilee, this year the usual June lunch will be held later in the year.
FUN DAY AT BARNARD PARK, CROW LANE. The event will take place on Saturday 11th August.
