Green Fair 2009
Brookvale Village Hall
Saturday 12th September 2009
This
was our biggest Green Fair to date, with lots of stall and activities on
offer for everyone. It was a good job that we had lovely weather again this
year so that we could spread outside the hall!
People
could get advice from a lot of the stalls on how to live a greener life
style, they could buy green products and many of the stalls had activities
for children, like making edible necklaces or learning to play drums (I’m
sure that one could be heard far and wide, thanks to the Drum Runners!). There
were refreshments from the Fair Trade Café and opportunities to talk to the
Councils about your views on the proposed changes to Victory Park using
Developer’s money and the proposed green corridor that will run through
Brookvale (there will be another chance to comment on this at a meeting in
the hall in January).
Competition winners were Tom for
the free entry raffle prize, Adam won the nearest number of bottle tops in
the recycling bin and Abby won the painting prize yet again!
