The Big Lunch July 19th

Hillaballoo is on July 18th. The next day is a national event called The Big Lunch. See more here http://www.thebiglunch.com/

This is just a day when we can get together in our communities and have lunch, for example in a street or a park.It’s nice to know that people all over the country are doing it too.

One idea is that Hillaballoo can encourage us to buy/make food or make new friends in preparation for a picnic in the Park the next day. It doesn’t have to be difficult to organise, just bring your own food and fun.

Contributions wanted: Theme of growth

We’re still looking for proposals from agencies or groups of people able to deliver a creative participatory activity for adults and children as the centrepiece of the event. Please get in touch on bridget.mckenzie@flowassociates.com or 07890 540178 as soon as you can if you have ideas. The budget is £800 and voluntary help can boost what you can achieve.

We are also keen to invite other contributions. This could be stalls, arts activities, trails, anything you can think of provided it’s safe, quiet, doesn’t harm the environment and that you can organise it under your own steam. Ideally, these contributions would support the theme of ‘growth’. This could be about nature, plants and food. Or it could be about growth of the community through friendship and collaboration. See the other pages on the site to get more of an idea what Hillaballoo is about and get in touch.
