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.

Last call to groups for Granton Community Day

TO GROUPS AND ORGANISATIONS IN GRANTON AREA

I am writing to invite your organisation/group to take part in a Community Day at Granton Parish Church on Saturday 7th September from 10am – 2pm.
We know that in Granton we can be proud of our wide range of social, educational, sporting and spiritual groups, covering all ages, where people can mix, enjoy fellowship and grow within our community.
The Community Day will be a chance for groups and organisations to show what they offer, and for people in the community to see what is available.
The format of the event is that we would simply provide the publicity and location, and groups such as yours can have a space to display your services. We would also encourage groups to run practical sessions based on your activities.From past experience we know that the most successful groups are those that have some kind of engagement activity available – games, quizzes, experiences, competitions, freebies etc, although you would, of course, be welcome to just come along with information.

In order that we can make arrangements and make a start on publicity, we would ask you to respond by Monday 5th August. Once we have a note of participants we’ll send out a booking and information form.

Please respond to communityday@granton.org.uk.

If your group would like to participate please send your note of interest to me at chas@granton.org.uk by 5th August and I’ll send more details of arrangements nearer the time.

Further information can be had from Rev Norman Smith norman@granton.org.uk or by emailing communityday@granton.org.uk.
