SPG FUNDAY 19th July 2008

The purpose of the SPG is fundamentally to not only a fund-raising exercise but also a means of promoting awareness of the centre and the facilities it has to offer the community. A major part of the building is currently leased to the Croydon Judo Club and the other main user is the Youth Service and together it is hoped this annual event will generate further interest in the venue.

Although the event was organised with limited notice the day proved extremely successful. The weather held with a light cool breeze and with a dedicated group of volunteers the event ran a smooth course. The judo club provided two mini fairground attractions, organised the BBQ and a couple of stalls,while the T-shirt painting and Gospel Tounges were organised by the Youth Service. The Morland Park Residents Association and the Holistic Fitness members together manned the cake and book stalls, provided teas but also canvassed local businesses and shop who generously provided many of the raffle prizes. The Seishin Ryu martial arts sectioned provided a running display of various martial arts for the duration of the event which also included inviting people to participate. A licenced bar was provided by the Glamorgan.

Many thanks to all those who volunteered their time and effort - from flyer distribution to orgaanising.
