What they said:
We rejoice as a community owning land and buildings that are precious to our community, so we love coming together, especially for the children and their generation, to celebrate the fact that the community can say what they want to do with and on their ‘patch’. Thus, the CLS event each year is something we treasure.
Despite the awful weather we managed to run a fun & games event indoors that the kids really loved. This attracted over 45 folk. We will do another event before next year than gets folk out onto out community field with a camp out and BBQ once the weather improves.
Outcomes and Community Feedback:
We have pictures and lots of verbal complements.
Challenges:
Weather – is October the best time?
