Tate Triangle Residents’ Association ‘Fun Day’

Fun Day for Tate Triangle Residents - John reports

2nd August (first published on 30th July 2010 – but now the photographs have arrived, too!)
 
John reports on the latest ‘Fun Day’ organised by the Tate Triangle Residents’ Association Committee – which includes John, Lynn, Mike, and Jenny. 

 

The full team arrived at around 8.30am to erect gazebos.  

  
They started the event with Mike, Jim ( the gardener), and John.  First Mike and John had carried out a general clean up of  the area known as Poulton Victoria Park.   The Council’s ’Green Team’ had already trimmed the grass - then Jim trimmed it further to provide a flat area for the ‘go carts’! 
 
 
 
First to arrive after that were the food wagons; next came the the bouncy castles.   
 
 
 

A mobile assault course was installed by the army.

A great highlight was the arrival of the Army.   Yes, ’tis true!  Soldiers of the Mercian Regiment provided a very large inflatable obstacle course and a paintball shooting gallery.  A special draw was held – with proceeds going to the ‘Help the Heroes’ Fund.  

This was complemented by the mobile sweet shop; the  PTC; Seven Waves Radio; and then the ’go carts’.     

Very popular with the young people

At the entrance the ASBO Team were stationed with the ‘Kontacta Bus’ – and Hazel came with her big dog from the dog pound.

(And here’s a commercial – anybody who would like to adopt a dog can contact the Council’s Dog Pound and maybe give an abandoned pooch a new home.’ 

Also in attendance was the newly created Anti dog Litter Enforcement Team, as it is becoming known (although it has a wider remit than that!)   

The weather was perfect – slightly overcast but beautifully mild.   There were lots of  free goodies for the young children and the day went very well.  

John said ‘I would like to extend my personal thanks to everyone who was involved to make the event a great success.  It was most enjoyable with dancing and singing, football, volley ball competitions, and much, much, more to guarantee a most memorable day.   This is a wonderful example of local people taking real control of their locality in the best community tradition.’  

Fun attractions for all, but especially for the children
