Thank you for an amazing Apple Day on the Ship Inn Community Space.
Styx of Stroud Border Morris gave us a fabulous start to the day.
TwoCan choir - what a joyous group of young people who made everyone smile.
Kingsonik - what an amazing and talented band who got everyone singing along, and so generously refused to accept their fee!
Kittie and Emily for baking such yummy sweet treats.
Sportily for energizing the children with kids games
Ivor and Patti for donating a cart-full of apples from their garden in Bridgend.
Vishal from Community Juice Gloucestershire for helping the Spice volunteers prepare and juice so many apples.
Our stallholders: Bloom & Brew keeping us going with much needed coffee, Luke's C***r with a selection of 4 great c***rs, Happy Gifts and Greener Stonehouse with fun apple games.
To Cotswold Canals Connected for funding.
And all the SpICE volunteers who made the pressing run like clockwork, our bbq team for preparing so many burgers and hot dogs that we sold out twice, other volunteers for selling nearly all our raffle tickets and asking you for your feedback - which we'd still like to receive if you haven't done it yet, Others for managing to keep the electrics working when one battery pack gave up after keeping the chocolate fountain flowing, and those who helped with set up and packing away, not forgetting those who looked after our dogs so we could be there all day!
And all the lovely people who came to share our sun drenched Apple Day.
Thank you
PS - Special thanks especially to our Lorraine for managing this event with all the twists and turns that unfolded over the days and weeks! It all worked out brilliantly on the day.
