Thirdly, thank you to everyone that helped us organise everything on the day. Some of our Councillors attended and helped set up and run the day and even some of their friends and partners joined in! The children of the Brownies and Guides did a fantastic job in running their stalls and selling their cakes and brownies.
Finally, we would like to thank YOU! It was brilliant to see so many of your turn up with your friends and families, spending the day with us and enjoying yourselves. You helped us raise money for the ABF and showed the best in Southbourne Parish’s community spirit.
