The September Welcome Picnic

The weather held, everyone ate, children played, old friends caught up and new friendships were made.

Magnificent garden gate prizes for everyone!

The annual back to school welcome picnic was a fun, families and food fiesta.

Construction made the usual Gilkeson venue out of bounds so we moved to the back of Kenyon – a change that worked very well. It was wonderful to see so many families come together to have a good time. The party only ended when the darkness closed in.

Thank you Parents Association.

This collage gives some flavor of the event.
