Car Boot Sale - Sorry

By
😢
 
CAR BOOT SALE - We can only apologise to those who turned up today hoping the car boot sale was on. A big thank you to Caroline who pointed out that the banner advertising the car boot was still up in Waitrose car park. 

As you know the Events Team is made up of volunteers and sometimes things go awry. There is a team of 3, led by Mike, who run the car boot sale. Sometimes life gets in the way and they are not available on the Sunday. We normally remove such advertising but obviously failed to do so this time, so we can only apologise again. 

What we need are more volunteers to help to ensure this does not happen again. If you would like to assist please get in touch. If we had more willing helpers we could then have a rota so only had to be committed for perhaps one in 3, or be a reserve when a problem like today happens,
It would be such a shame if this were to fold through lack of volunteers

SUMMER FETE SUCCESS

By
The sun shone and the families came to see the 80 stalls, arena events, animals, dog show, horse and carriage, etc etc.  What a fabulous day.  Being a volunteer with Waterlooville Events team it was an exhausting day but also had a sense of satisfaction that we had achieved it for another year.  The day started at 7am to put up our gazebo, then getting the toilets in place and then the stalls on the field.  It calmed until we had to get them off at the end of the day.  So home at 5pm for relaxation. 18 volunteers ran the day.  Many before hand - booking stalls;  organising arena;  doing the relevant paperwork with various authorities; finding the funding; etc etc. What we need are more volunteers.  Why don't you help.  Many hands make light work!!  Be an elf in the xmas grotto, or even be a santa!!  Why not help with the Xmas event??   or help us with the brand new event in May  Waterlooville Carnival in the...

VANDALISED XMAS LIGHTS IN WATERLOOVILLE

By
Who are the 'low life' who hate Waterlooville so much that they don't want festive lighting in the precinct? The volunteers from the Events team have spent a lot of money and time to try and make Waterlooville look festive but having seen what some 'people' think about it makes you wonder why we bother. Today we went to change the batteries in the tree lights as some were not working. The reason was that the battery casings had been torn/cut off so the lights no longer worked. Councillor Mike Sceal went into the tree by Nat West to locate a connection further up and managed to connect another casing in the tree, but the lights in the tree by Lloyds bank could not be fixed. If you see something untoward or if you see the lights not working let us know. We had hoped to put battery lights in all the trees in Waterlooville precinct next year but if they are to be vandalised is it worth it??
