The great success of the V.E.Day Street Party owed much to the brilliant organisation of Evelyn McPherson and her team. Mr Colin Varney was a very professional Master of Ceremonies. Even the forecasted end to the warm sunny weather was delayed until the party was over.
Around 250 people attended and the children enjoyed all the old favourites including sack races, wheelbarrow and three-legged races. The party closed with a tug- of- war for children versus mums and dads. Our thanks go to Southampton City Council for a grant towards the cost of this event.
Should we have more of these? Perhaps to raise money for charity. Let us have your views.
