Darryl Griffiths, Steve Williams, Geoff Calver, Mike Helliar and Merv Jeffery. W. Bro. Phil Goodwin kindly provided the PA system.
The event particularly benefitted from a host of presents, bears and bunting which was donated by Felixtowe Brethren after their picnic and all delivered by W. Bro. Dave Wilson. WBro Nick Berry provided the ‘Bears Shy’ which was great for photos and water sponge throwing. 130 children, parents and grandparents attended and the weather was warm and sunny whilst they tucked into their food hampers.
The Punch and Judy Show, bouncy castle and face painting were big hits and everyone took part in the Teddy Bingo and egg and spoon races. No one left without a prize and a big smile on their face and many commented on the professionally produced cups, plates and napkins from The Charity. Cuddles were given by mascots and balloon animals were abundant from Marcel The Magician.
