\n\t\"games1\"It had to had to happen. After 3 years with sunny weather this year we were greeted by torrential downpours as we surveyed Grange park on the morning of the event.

\n\tAt 2pm a steady stream of people headed towards the hall. Whether attracted by the smell of the free barbecue or the desire to get out of the house with active children they came! As people arrived in the car park they were greeted by a petting farm, donkey rides and games. The rain was no barrier to people meeting the animals or queuing for a burger or hot dog. Once inside bouncy castles, soft play, face painting, cakes, a nail bar, \"oct-vc-img_1627\"crafts, games and so much more added to the hive of activity. Our aim has always been to bless the village by giving a place where friends could gather, kids play safely and fun could be had in abundance, seemed to be a reality. One of the keys for us as a church is that we pay for everything so families can just relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about the cost. Freely we have received, freely we want to give.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPlans are already in place for next year’s Vale Village Fun Day. We know it can be great in the rain but we really do want it to be sunny! Maybe we should all start praying now? \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
