On Saturday 11th September we will be having a 'BLUE FUN DAY'. There will be a Barbecue, which will be run by the Bristol Athletic Football Club, who will be coming along in order to raise funds for their teams. This is Sherrie Eugene's special charity, which we are supporting over the week-end. We will have balloons and badges for youngsters, and competitions and quizes during the day.
