![]() Last Saturday, the day of our 2016 Fun Day, did not start well, with heavy rain all morning. Was our "never rained on" record going back to the first Fun Day in 2003 about to end? We set up anyway, getting drenched and more despondent... and then, at almost exactly 12noon... the rain stopped!! It stayed away until about 3:45pm when there was a light shower. OK, it was a bit wet underfoot, and some slight re-arranging of the programme was necessary, but about 400 people came and had a fab time. Lots of photos here.

We have our funding for the next Fun Day, and confirmation from all of the participants, including some volunteers all the way from America who will be helping us set up and clear up. Expect many of your favourite artists and activities from previous years, plus a couple of new surprises. July 9 we hope will be yet another sunny Fun Day Saturday.
![]() Another Fun Day and, yet again, another day of sunshine! It was great to see the park filled with people of all ages enjoying themselves. Clowns, entertainers, crafts, face-painting, bouncy castle, stalls, sports, food and of course bingo. Music was provided by Ordsall Accapella Singers, New Lights Big Band and DJ Simon. Thanks to all of them and to our great team of volunteers from the USA. For more photos of the day click here. |
