Community Picnic Day - 11 July 2009

This year, due to lack of volunteers, we scaled down our fete to a Community Picnic Day, with an activity for children funded by a Camden Council Arts grant. Year 6 from Old Lady's School made some illuminated bunting for us, as seen here --->


Unfortunately the day was wet and cold, with rain falling about every 20 minutes. We put up the two gazebos and some attendees managed to picnic under them.


Our children's activity was Phil from Zoofari.
He runs an education focused mobile zoo, and teaches about the perils of keeping exotic animals as pets. His most popular animal was Monty Python, a three year old albino Burmese python, who already weighs 50kg. Other animals include a rare raccoon dog and a tarantula.


Many thanks to local businesses who provided prizes for our fund raising raffle. The money raised helps towards our public liability insurance, which we need to buy in order to hold events in the park.
