4th
Annual Funday
1st July 2007
This was the Friend's 4th annual
funday and what a day it was! Torrential rain, gale force winds, and Sunny souls
would probably be the best way to describe the day.
It was truly heart warming to see the amount of
people that came out to support us, despite the weather. The community spirit and good nature of all the
stallholders, sports participants, visitors and organisers made it all
worthwhile. We sincerely thank everyone who gave up their time to come and
support us. You saved the day and made it one of the best Funday's so far,
purely by proving that we really are a community, with spirit! Thank you!
