May Fair 2010  

We have decided not to organise the May Fair this year. The Friends have a lot of other commitments at the moment and are devoting much of our time to the pressing revitalisation issues. We also didn't get the funding we hoped for.

We apologise for the last minute cancellation, but we really hoped to build on what we did last year. We hope that next year, with proper funding and more time to focus on the planning we can resume the Fair.

We do hope you aren't all too disappointed, but really hope that next year we will organise a fabulous May Fair. Please do let other people know of our decision.

May Fair 2009

Dear All,

Just to say thank you for coming and enjoying yourselves, and to the participants, for all your hard work.

We thought the first May Fair was a great success, and hopefully we can look forward to doing it next year.

We really hope everyone else enjoyed themselves and would want to do it again!

Clubs have got new members, the cafe was heaving, families strolled about bouncing on castles and making floating swans. Seeds were planted in paper pots and the latin musicians got toes tapping. Plenty of sporty activities got people running around and generally the whole park was buzzing.

Most importantly though we have at last met each other and along with the rest of the local community we're more informed about what an amazing place Burgess Park is.

The raffle was a great success and raised approx £140.00 for the Friends, and will be put to very good use organising more participatory events for all.

Thanks again

The Friends of Burgess Park
