The annual Alwoodley Community Association Gala, and once more FOAW had a stand to tell local residents what we do.
The day started off grey and overcast, and the weather did not look promising as we put up our gazebo and set up our various notice boards, but by 2 o’clock the sun had put his hat on and come out to play. It was the archetypal village fete and one expected Inspector Tom Barnaby to appear at any moment.
Brian working the public!
We had a steady stream of interested visitors looking at our pictures of Friends at work and at Tom’s excellent display of photographs of the woods.
Your correspondent dusted off the “Litterpicking Heroes” game and we had about thirty players who tried their hand with the litter pickers in the quest to win some sweets!
This year was a first in that for the first time we had sound on our stand – the sound of birdsong, competing with the North Leeds Jazz Orchestra.
Our stand was well placed to view a sensational aeronautical display by the North Leeds Model Flying Club.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our stand – whether helping to set up in the morning, contributing to our stand or chatting to potential Friends. You were marvellous, darlings!
