Open Day success

The sun was shining. It was warm. The bbq was going. Gallons of tea and coffee were served. 400 cup cakes were shared, the press took photographs, a giant FIFA screen was up and lots of people came. The Beacon Centre Open Day was a great success. 100s of neighbours and friends came to have a look round, to have their face painted or just sit and chat and have a cup of tea. Many enquired about hiring the facility too - we have had to say no to all non church bookings for the time being until we have a policy in place. Many also completed the questionnaire about what they would like to see in the facility - so lots to think about and many new challenges (including buying more vacuum cleaners!).
