The Lightburn Park Group have again run a great event with the lead coming from Libby Norton who published a leaflet which was ditributed all over the Watery Lane Estate, the block between Quibec Street , County Road and Victoria Road and many of the houses around the Gill.
The room at the Methodist Hall was full from 2 pm onwards with children and adults making wall and tree hangings, candle holders, dishes, nativity scenes etc. Families and adults paid £2 per group and between £1 and £4 depending on how many things they made. Many items cost as little as 20p! Tea and soft drinks were included in the price and families came away having had a great time producing things themselves for Christmas.
Four helpers were available with ideas and advice to ensure a successful outcome!
These will be ready for pick up having been fired for Saturday November 28th.
Our next community event will be a repeat of the dog get-together in Ford Park, which we are hiring, held on Christmas Day last year.
On Christmas Eve we will be again using the 75 spike lights that were seen at the Gill Banks Candle lit walk on Halloween. This time on the spiked railings around the Parish Church for the two Community services at Christingle at 4.30 and Midnight Mass later on.
This is another opportunity to see these unique lights for those that missed the Halloween event.
