Highlights in Summary:
- 550 people came along to Sunday’s Big Lunch
- Everyone who wanted free food had it – something like 200 burgers/sausages donated by the Hill Station
- We had 22 stalls and all of the traders loved having the opportunity to sell and promote their wares
- We had 13 different bands/solo performers from Beat Boxing to Gospel to Joy Choir to Rasta and SKA band
- We raised £475 for Nepal and Syrian refugee projects
- Lots of new people came up at the end and said they had really felt welcomed and appreciated the opportunity to be part of the community vibe.
- Good that we had new links with House of Bread church and the New Life church which meets at Askes
- The kids activities which Kate and Catherine did were great
- The Zumba dancing went down so well.
- Although takings at the café were down on the day (with so much free food outside) we were able to offset that with a good bar on the day so that’s good.
- We had lots of volunteers (including 4 Askes boys) who stayed till the end to help clear up- THANKS!
- Lots of photos and nice comments on Facebook
