This year’s summer party must rank as one of the most successful in recent years. The wonderful weather certainly contributed to the atmosphere and it was great to see over 100 residents come and join the fun.
The bouncy castle was, as ever, a great success and the face painting and games also proved to be extremely popular; it was great to see the adults take the tug of war competition so seriously. A great time seemed to be had by all.
Thanks must go to all those who ensured that the party ran so smoothly: to Ken Hickling and Ian Jarvis for cooking the barbecue which was supplemented by a range of delicious salads and desserts, to Izzie and Anna Hammett for face-painting, to Sue Mellett for giving up her time to organise the games, and to those members of the Residents’Association, particularly Lizzie Cox, Angela Gilbert, Michelle Hickling and Ray George who worked quietly behind the scenes to ensure that the food and entertainment were all there on the day for the rest of us to enjoy.
If there are any residents who have never been to the Summer Party, can I encourage you to come along next year, enjoy lots of fun and have the chance to get to know other residents.
