Fun Day 2008
Not even the rain could dampen the spirits of those who attended. People danced in the street to the sound of classics from the 60's through to the 90's
For those sheltering from the rain there was tea, coffee, cakes and lunch bags generously provided by ASDA at Govan. Bingo was a big hit, hosted by the smooth talking Maintenance Officer Derek
Fun Day 2009The Day of Fun included magicians, face painters, hair-braiders, dance workshop, bouncy castle, birds of prey, fire engine, arts and crafts, wild-life survival, mini beasts and rain forest displays.
