GGT Picnic at The \Chestnuts N5
Posted 2:10pm
With incredible thanks to Islington Council for providing the funding, and Laurette and her team at The Chestnuts Community Centre, Highbury Grange, N5, HMHB organised a picnic for the Great Get Together Weekend last Saturday.
While Luke ran our Saturday fitness session on Highbury Fields last Saturday, Lazza was helping get the centre ready - full of food bought the day before and lots of sandwiches he had made that morning. The centre had been given a lot of cakes, donuts, an enormous box of pretzels, and we provided litres and litres of water and dquash (alcohol free).
It was a lovely warm day, and we all had a terrific time. The pcture above shows Lazza and Luke surrounded by Ajani users, Izzwalkers, and the Islington Mayor, who was on the first of five functions that day.
Not only that, the previous Mayor, Una, said that when she came on our birthday Izzwalkz last November, that that was her favourite function of the whole of her year as Mayor, which touched us deeply. and made me very proud.
HMHB is all about getting people active, getting out of the flat/house, bringing people together, and creating a "I will do it" attitude. We were there for several hours before clearing up, and everyone had a terrific time. We made new friends, and it is lovely to hear people saying that something we have organised has been a success.
Yay!!!!
