Great press coverage for 'Street Party'



After weeks of planning and many sleepless nights wondering if anyone would attend. the Street party in the Park came and went on the 1st May. It was a fabulous day and we have had much positive feedback since. It is nice when what you are doing is recognised outside the immediate community and that is what happened in the Wigan Evening Post the following week. Above you'll see a double page centre spread with pictures from the day.



It makes it all worth while!!!

Street Party in the Park



Well, what a day! The weather was fantastic, the park was packed and everywher you turned people were having fun. The day was a massive success thanks to the efforts of a small, determined committee.






We have to give a massive thanks to all the local businesses who supported the event. AJ signs, Birchalls, select a carpet, CP services, Sherringtons, La Cava, Fix it, Mortgage advice bureau, Kard Kabin, Four seasons, bonkers, sugar shack, Pye studios and Hindley locks all gave donations and time to help the cause.






An extra special thanks has to go to Jason and Amanda from The Plough who have been fantastic with us for a long time and continued their amazing support at weekend!!
