Event Discussion

Summer Stroll About – thoughts?

From Sheila, Police Community Support Officer:

Here are the thoughts for an event that I would dearly love to see happen. I feel this will really embrace the Stoughton Community. Please can you see if you can spare the time to come to the meeting as above or/and anyone that you think would be interested in helping to put this project together.

Here is the general idea:

The stroll – about will take in particular interesting locations. At each location will be a “station” where there will be person(s) who can talk about whatever there is or was at that site. Mostly history items e.g. Cardwell Keep- old photographs on display when this was an army camp.

This, hopefully will give young people a sense of identity in the area in which they live, and new residents a chance to walk around their area with a purpose. There will be 3 different routes to cater for all abilities.

Suggested areas for the strollabout will be talked about on the meeting evening. Emmanuel church is holding a flower festival that day so it would be good to bring the festival in, as a “station”. The common at Rydeshill would be a good station as well with Mark Havler.

Other events we may consider is a few other type things like a competition for the children, miniature garden on a plate, funny rhyme, colouring, bake a sponge for the men etc and afternoon tea for the seniors.

How about a fantastic Barn Dance in the evening?

These are some ideas that we could do but we need your presence! Feel free to discuss it in the Forum, or send an email through the Contact Form.

Thank you.
