November 2008

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!

OK so we are a little late for that, but we have been busy.

Fireworks

It goes to reason that after the biggest event we have ever had, we would have the largest amount of information to go through. We had a fantastic but very busy time ourselves and haven’t stopped since.

We would like to thank all of you that joined us at the Funplex for our last event. We have spent the past two weeks pulling everything together from the consultations and the monitoring forms and now that we have a moment to breathe we bring you our Post Event newsletter.

The Biggest Yet!

New Competition

Were you there??? Did you have a good time??? Would have loved to have been there but couldn't for some reason? Looking forward to the next event? Ok, so we haven't actually planned the next one yet, but let us know what you really think!

Our friends at the Komedia (voted the most family friendly theatre in the south) have given us 4 tickets to give as a prize if you fill out our Event survey.

Did you Participate in the consultation?

Now didn't we tell you it was easy!

All you had to do was answer one (or more) of three questions. We hope you enjoyed giving us your opinions as much as we enjoyed reading them and have passed them on for consideration in the creation of the new Children and Young People's Plan.
