SUMMER EVENT IN QCG
On Saturday 25 June the community once again responded brilliantly to the summer event in Queen’s Crescent Garden. Members and neighbours came together to enjoy the occasion and help raise funds for the Trust and the QCG regeneration project. Apart from dodging a couple of occasional showers nothing put a damper on an otherwise sunny day which was enjoyed by all.
There was something for everyone, young and old: children keen to secure a prize by completing the spotting trail around the garden, others (big and small!) having a go at welly wanging, plants galore, brisk trade at the cake and refreshment stall, scouring for a bargain amongst the bric-a-brac, guessing the location of buried treasure on the garden map, having a punt on the tombola and the excitement of winning the raffle.
A big thank you to all who generously donated plants, cakes and other items to sell as well as to local businesses who donated raffle prizes. Without your support the event would not have been such a success.
Special mention must be made of Newtown Roots Band for providing excellent musical entertainment and local residents Ben and Sophie Ambridge of Penguin Pizzas for cooking freshly made pizzas and donating profits to the Trust. Also to our city councillors who ensured the overheads were met by a ward grant.
