Easter Sunday Fun!

Posted on April 24, 2011 by administrator

Easter Sunday saw the Group’s second annual ‘Easter Extravaganza’ take place in Chorlton. Families from all over the area converged on Buckthorn House for lunchtime fun which included craft tables for youngsters to make Easter cards and Easter bonnets, for which prizes were awarded by Councillor Norman Lewis.

There was an outdoor Easter egg hunt, face painting and great excitement and action when the piñatas were brought out.

Easter eggs and prizes were kindly donated by Southway Housing, Manchester Working, Waites and Bramalls. In all, around 60 people attended the event and also tucked in to a range of Easter cakes, goodies and hot and cold drinks – all provided free.

The Committee would like to thank all those who came and to those who helped out on the day to make this year’s event such a success once again. Same time, same place next year for more Easter fun?

Here are some photos of what we got up to…

Public Meeting – Come Along!

Posted on April 9, 2011 by administrator

At least twice a year, the Arrowfield and Hough End Community Action Group holds a public meeting to which all local residents are invited.

The next one is on Monday 18th April at Loreto High School on Nell Lane, between 7 and 8pm.

The aim is to keep you updated as to the groups aims and activities and let you know what plans we have for 2011. This is also an opportunity for you to get involved with the group – either as a member of the committee or to help out when we have an event. It’s your chance to tell us what you would like the Community Action Group to be doing in terms of organising events and activities for families, young and old  – whatever you might want to see happen to help make our neighbourhood a better place to live.

We’ve invited representatives of the Council, the local police force and Southway Housing Trust, who’ll be on hand to provide information and answer any queries you might have about your local community.

So we look forward to seeing you on Monday 18th. Come along. Get involved!
