St Georges Fun Afternoon at Sandgate School

Thank GOODNESS the weather held for the St George's Fun Afternoon held on Sandgate School playing fields. The bouncy castle probably captured the attention of most of the children but as all the activities were free, the Hook a Duck and Bean Bag Throwing also gathered quite a crowd. About 500 people attended the afternoon and were entertained by Creativity Puppets, The Mission Gospel Choir and The Imagination Theatre Group.

I am getting more accustomed to making speeches to open such events and it was a pleasure to welcome the people and invite them to take part in the 15 - 20 games and activities as well as let them know about the free BBQ to be served later in the afternoon!

The aim of gathering the community together for a free afternoon of fun was a total success. It is encouraging to think that some organisations are still working hard to develop strong community links. Let's hope this continues in the Sandgate and St George's area.
