“Our feedback really surprised us – we asked people to give us their postcode, and found we had visitors from all over the Borough”. Carole Thomas, Friends of the Tarn

 

"Archaeology, African drums & a string quartet, not to mention the school choir & the communal singing in the glade. The School In The Park event was a cultural feast with more than a dash of awe & wonder. Plumcroft children hugely enjoyed this celebration of community cohesion & healthy lifestyle choices, rooting the Every Child Matters agenda in their present reality & linking it with the Open Air School tradition." Richard Gray, Head Teacher Plumcroft Primary School to Shrewsbury Park Friends

 

“All power to your elbows in getting funding –The Pleasance is lucky to have a hard working and able group of people looking out for it.” Mark Allan, Emergency Exit Arts

“Congratulations on your event which appeared to be a thoroughly pleasant family event. As I said on the day I was impressed with your planning docs, and you did exactly what it said on the tin, presenting me with no policing problems at all.” Brian Washbourn, Metropolitan Police to Plumstead Common Environment Group

 

“Just what this community needs, everybody got together and had a fab time.”
