Lark in the Park LIVE!

The Summer Festival was a terrific success, judging by all the smiling faces. The day was full of summertime music, tasty food, hands-on workshops, creative craftspeople and info stalls from bees to Greenpeace.  And Canine Capers presented by the Dog Society GB!

I would like to give grateful thanks to the Management Committee who pulled together like no other group has pulled before; Ron Senkus, Iris White, Sonja O’Sullivan, Sandra Bauer, Paul Buckley and Alan Deacon.

A core of super volunteers also helped make it happen and then returned the Park to it’s pristine appearance at the end of the day.

And thank you to everyone who delivered leaflets, baked a cake, set up a gazebo or shifted tables –  or simply turned up to share Shrewsbury Park together with the neighbourhood.

Dave Silk’s Jazz Nights quintet

Many thanks to our partner in Shooters Hill activity, Shrewsbury House, for loaning tables and transporting them.

Les Clark took photos on the day.  If you have any to add to the gallery we’d love to have them.
