Grand Celebration Event August 2024

 

Radipole Celebration event August 2024

 

What can we say.

Throughout this project weather, or rather bad weather, has played a major role

Site flooded, or mud swamped at times.

Unable to start sensory garden due to water sitting in excavated and waiting beds.

First celebration event cancelled due to high winds and torrential rain.

Final Lottery site visit undertaken in horrendous rain.

Well here we are again, Celebratory event rearranged, order put in for good weather, we’re ready to rock and roll.

Saturday 10th August between 11am and 2pm you’ll find us busy showing people around, pointing them in various directions of  activities, the usual speeches and ribbon cutting.

Lots for families to do for FREE, from sporting such as table tennis, basketball, football, tennis, pétanque, nature trail, face painting, playing on the scooter track, or trying your feet at hopscotch.
