BLUE JANUARY FAMiLY FUN
Saturday 24th January
St Cecilia’s School
Holding an outdoor event in January might have seemed a risky (crazy?!) undertaking, but the sun shone brightly on to Saint Cecilia’s forecourt, tempting quite a few families to attend!
No-one seemed to get cold, helped by hot drinks & breakfast rolls served by Coffee Van Man (Tony). The children seemed to really enjoy the various crafts, face-painting & archery as well as more energetic activities. The simple slide was very popular too!
We took it to be a good sign that a few families stayed almost right through the two hours of the event, meeting & chatting with other families in our area.
A HUGE thankyou to Susie & her team for their hard work & thanks to the families who turned out for ‘FAMILY FUN’ on a January morning!
Putting on a community event takes help from lots of people. Here are a few of the locals who have made today possible. With grateful thanks to….

SGCARA ‘Sustainable September’ 2025
Thanks to all who took part in the Street Tree-pit planting event on the 21st Sept, especially to those who took on a Sutherland Grove plane tree pit! The soil in these is pretty dry & unforgiving so the plants need a big helping hand. If you live close to one of these planted trees – look for the notices – please give the plants a jug of water, although there may be more than enough rain this w/e! Maybe pop in some seeds from one of your own plants you know to be tough in all conditions.
Following the success of the SGCARA street tree-pit planting day in Sept 2024, SGCARA is delighted to have been awarded a council micro-grant once again to buy plants, bulbs, compost & seeds for residents to plant round street tree-pits.
