Granton Community Day cancelled due to dates clash
Community event rescheduled for Spring next year
On behalf of Granton Parish Church we are getting in touch with an update on the Community Day planned for Saturday 7th September.
We have taken the decision to postpone the event until Spring 2020. Two other similar events have been planned by other community groups and rather than run a competing event where we invite different community groups to choose which one to support we chose to push ours back to the Spring.
This will allow the wider community to concentrate its resources and offer a better experience to those attending the other two events. They are a Community BBQ at the Old Kirk and Muirhouse Parish Church and a Community Day at Wardie Bowling Club.
We encourage you to throw your support behind them!
We know that you had not been able to attend on 7th September anyway, and we hope that we can find a date in the spring of next year that will be more suitable. We will be back in touch in a few weeks with a save the date for the Spring.
On behalf of all in the church we thank you for your commitment to making a stronger community here in Granton.
