Great to see the Boat House Cafe open once again and the boats on the lake for the Birchfield Big Local Family Fun Picnic at Handsworth Park. Thanks to everyone involved - especially Russell and Nyah who organised the day and Andrea and Tony for hosting at the Boat House Cafe. We were entertained by DJ Fitz and a solo performance by a young artist - Screws and Co. There was an arts workshop and play activities which everyone enjoyed including a dance and freeze competition. James took family photographs on the day which were hugely popular. We had the odd shower, but it made little difference. Everyone was determined to make the best of the weather, glad to be outside and enjoying the company.
