Festival a Knockout Success
| Posted on September 16, 2009 at 4:23 AM |
The sun shone on CastleBromwich's first Community Festival since the millennium helping to make it a knockout success. Local residents flocked to Park Hall Academy and Lanchester Park to soak up the sun and enjoy a day of fantastic entertainment. From an African Drumming Workshop to a 7 a Side Football Contest; a Jitterbug and Charleston Demonstration and Workshop to a Rodeo Bull Ride; Community Stalls to Circus Skills training there was something to suit all ages and tastes.
The event which was organised by the Castle Bromwich Youth & Community Partnership and attended by the Mayor of Solihull, Cllr Norman Davies, and his wife Mayoress Brenda Davies, opened at Park Hall Academy where many local residents saw for the first time the splendid facilities of the new school building which housed the Art Exhibition staged by Park Hall students and dance workshops. The fabulous sunshine, tantalising smell of the BBQ and sound of the steel pans emanating from the terrace were an irresistible draw and ensured a large audience for the 7 a sidefootball contest which was taking place on the playing fields.
But the highlight of the day was the It's a Knockout Contest which was staged at Lanchester Park. A group of teachers from Park Hall Academy were crowned overall Champions snatching thecoveted trophy at the last minute from Solihull Council's Park Rangers. The winners, Park Hall 1, demonstrated remarkable team work and resilience whilst competing against seventeen other teams in various games on foam drenched inflatables. Incredible restraint was shown by the Police team who were without doubt robbed of vital points and a winning position by a dodgy Referee. Between each of the games, the teams were invited to take part in themed dance performances in front of the stage including the Blues Brothers and Grease-mania much to the amusement of the large audience which had gathered to watch. Check out the Festival video to see how the day went.
