Bonnington Street Party
02/07/09 18:53
Just
to let you know that Jo Culf and I are hoping to
organise a street party in the Square on 19th July 2009
to coincide with the Eden Project’s Big Lunch
initiative.
We are not proposing that this should be a BS Festival, but others may wish to build on the street party – which we anticipate to end around 4 p.m. - perhaps with other events and music? (If there is to be music, you may recall that some residents have strong views about noise after 10 p.m. in the Square)
Jo is prepared to take on responsibility for arranging the Local Authority license, insurance and street closure.
regards
Michael Barram
We are looking for volunteers: facepainting, leafleting, ideas, general helping
To get involved, contact: bonningtonfestival@hotmail.com

Hiring the garden for weddings or other events
If you are living in our neighbourhood and want to have an informal party in our space, please let us know your plans and we can try to make sure that you have a great time and the garden looks great at the end of it. Refundable deposit required donations invited.
Please contact us here.
The garden receives no financial support apart from donations, so we really do rely on them and the good will of all the volunteers who give their time so kindly to the garden. A big THANK YOU to all of who have helped us over the years.
