Crawley Fire Station Open Day

Another fun fund-raising day for the GLCT!

Friends of Manor Green Schools Summer Fair

The Golden Lion Children’s Trust was grateful to be able to set up a small stall on the Manor Green fields as part of the School and College’s Summer fund-raising activities on Saturday 2nd July 2011. As so often happens, the GLCT were lucky enough to have two of the very best Face Painters in attendance; a “rest” table for children to do drawing and crayoning; and a couple of games.

The GLCT stall was surrounded by a wide variety of stalls and entertainment, including a very small railway, which carried many very excited youngsters up and down, up and down; a most enjoyable live band who played all through the afternoon; a set of stocks for the wet sponge avengers; a small skittle alley; a very welcome tea and coffee outlet, just next door to the banger and burger grill. All were supported by a very happy smiling crowd of adults and children, many of whom commented about trips or events they had been on with the Golden Lion Children’s Trust. The atmosphere was almost tangible, and was definitely one of the happiest fetes the GLCT have attended.

The entrance hall and nearby school hall were full of cake stalls; raffles; a silent auction; books, bears, more books; flowers and plants; CDs and DVDs; and above all much bustle and laughter, - all creating inside as wonderful an atmosphere as that outside on the field.

All in all, this was a most enjoyable day to a lovely college and school, with enthusiastic staff, supported by caring parents, and generous sponsors.

Our thanks to them for inviting us along. We all had a Fun Day !!!
