Dear Villager,
Our group is eager to see a community event for Finningley that would unite the village in a range of activities fostering and promoting friendship for residents of all ages.
We feel that whatever form the event takes it should be fun and enjoyable.
With this in mind we are exploring the possibility of a "Finningley Fun Day" with as many groups as possible organising an activity to encompass this ethos.
Each group could decide just what it would like to do, depending upon what is considered appropriate and manageable by the members.
We would welcome an opportunity to discuss the suggestion with you and maybe explore some areas in which you would feel happy to be involved.
Would you be prepared to send a representative to such an exploratory meeting arranged at a time convenient, hopefully, to all participants?
We have attached a reply slip on which we would be grateful if you would acknowledge this letter and the willingness of your group to be involved and if so state preference for days/times.
Yours sincerely,
Maureen Marson Cynthia Scully, Joint Chair
