On the weekend of 18/19th June, community events will be happening up and down the country, all on the theme of the Great Get Together. The aim is to get everyone together to have a great time and to show that we really do have 'more in common'. Our event will be taking place on Saturday 17th June and we've booked the Scout Hut and the playing field by Giant Axe, here in Lancaster. It's going to be a day of music, food, games and fun! We will have food supplied by Lancaster People's Café and by Marsh Community Centre/City of Sanctuary. We'll get a stage and a PA system so local bands and budding musicians can have a go on stage. And as well as the food and music, we've got korfball sessions organised on the park, Splodge-A-Matic, and fun games like tug-o-war, welly throwing and sack races. There will be fun stalls with games and crafts, face painting, and an area for selling, browsing and bargain hunting. It will be a fabulous fun day for people of all ages to come together. We have plenty of people offering their time and energy but we need a bit of basic funding to make it happen because some things don't come free! We need £170 for event insurance, at least £200 for a PA system, and a bit more for essentials to run games and activities. All communities need special events to help people come together. With fun, music, laughter and great food we will create a day to remember and a day when people strike up new friendships and make our community just a bit stronger. Please give just a little so that we can make this a great day for everyone.
