Wow - what a fantastic time we had on Saturday in Highbury Fields. We must have had at least 40-45 different people come along - various organisations and lots of laughs. I was so proud of the whole experience.
Friday night I spent preparing food. I had already gone out and bought a lot of games stuff - which included items we could then use for our HMHB fitness - these included boxing gloves, footballs, frisbees, and badminton. Then I prepared rounds of ham and lettuce, egg mayonaisse, cheese, and chicken and lettuce sandwiches; home made potato salad; home made green salad; i bought a lot of cakes and fruit and biscuits: plus plenty of water:
Tesco were amazing. I popped in mentioned we were doing an event, wanted to buy all the food and drink there, and could they help at all - and they gave us £50 of vouchers towards the cost. Truly fantastic.
Saturday I went out and met up with Chris from CGL, who were doing the barbecue. We bought a lot of meat, some extra tableware and a large melon. Setting up around 1pm I was unsure how many would come, but in the end everyone had a great time. People from SHP, CGL, Highbury Grange, my Izzwalkz ladies, and a couple of other places came along. It was very hot but overwhelming everyone had a fine time. No alcohol allowed - we had water and squash.
We posted pictures on Twitter and Facebook. And now here.
