Hello All,

 

With only SIX days left until the Big Picnic 2023 on the 27th of August, the excitement is building, and we REALLY need your help!

Tombola Donations Needed:

We are short of prizes for the tombola and are eagerly accepting contributions. Wine and spirits are welcome, but don’t feel restricted to expensive items. A tin or two (soup, lager, beans, etc.), cans of fizz, toiletries, bottles of water, sweets, jam, jewellery – the list is endless. You can hand them in at the Paxton Centre between 10am and 4pm every day till Saturday or drop them at 16 Woodlands Road.

Need a collection? Just send an address to this email or phone number If we could have them before Sunday, that would be fantastic….

A huge thanks to all who have donated so far!

We’re also still looking for a melody maestro or a groovy band. Know someone or have the talent? We would love to have you play live at the picnic! 🎵

And do come along !

Whether you’re part of a community group or just eager to join the fun, pack your favourite picnic goodies and let’s hope for sunshine.  We have lots of great local groups and organisations joining us so come and make it  a day to remember.

Local Place Plan Announcement:

We also have an exciting update to share, our draft Local Place Plan will be ready for your perusal during the picnic. We’d be thrilled for you to swing by, say hello, and share your thoughts before we finalize it. 📜

Come along and create unforgettable memories with us. Can’t wait to see you there!

The Largo and Newburn Horticultural Show is also on this weekend

The Largo and Newburn Horticultural Show is on at the Simpson Institute, Upper Largo this weekend. In the future we are going to make sure that the big picnic doesn’t clash with this long running event, and we hope that those who can manage to go along to both events and support them. This 9 year old article from the Lundin Links Weebly historical site shows just how long the Horticultural show  has been running, and its interesting to see how times have changed and stayed the same !

Pony Axes Returns

Also, the Temple Car Park had the delightful company of Obama the pony today, and he will be there again tomorrow. Obama has been providing those who use wheelchairs with unique access to the bay. This service has proven to be extremely popular, and we hope that everyone who participated had a truly great time. More details on www.ponyaxes.com.
