SUMMER FETE SUCCESS

The sun shone and the families came to see the 80 stalls, arena events, animals, dog show, horse and carriage, etc etc. What a fabulous day. Being a volunteer with Waterlooville Events team it was an exhausting day but also had a sense of satisfaction that we had achieved it for another year. The day started at 7am to put up our gazebo, then getting the toilets in place and then the stalls on the field. It calmed until we had to get them off at the end of the day. So home at 5pm for relaxation.
18 volunteers ran the day. Many before hand - booking stalls; organising arena; doing the relevant paperwork with various authorities; finding the funding; etc etc.

What we need are more volunteers. Why don't you help. Many hands make light work!! Be an elf in the xmas grotto, or even be a santa!! Why not help with the Xmas event?? or help us with the brand new event in May Waterlooville Carnival in the town centre. Or help with designing the publicity or just give us ideas!

So many ways to help the events team and our town. GO FOR IT. Leave a message or email us on waterlooville.events@gmail.com

COMMUNITY MEETING

Business meetings every 2 months have been held in Waterlooville for the last year. At the last meeting in September it was decided to open up the meetings to the local residents as well as businesses as it was an opportunity for the people who live in Waterlooville to find out more about what is going on...BAE site and leisure facilites; Wellington Way; cycle paths; shops closing; improve pavillion in the Jubilee park etc etc. All those things people talk about. Come along to the next meeting and ask those questions and push for answers. For too long Waterlooville has been very quiet perhaps this is the time to push the council. Your local ward councillors will be there as well as council officers and cabinet members. The next meeting is on: MONDAY 27 NOVEMBER 6pm St Georges Church Hall Tell your friends and bring them along
