Once again Fryern Funtasia was held during the May Bank Holiday Monday, at Fryern Recreation Ground. Did you have a good time? Yes we did despite the rain.
You can imagine the organisation of this event was a mammoth task and it was so wonderful to see so many people and animals, and so many stalls, games, and activities.
Some children sang some songs about the ‘sunshine’ and don’t we love these children from Fryern schools?

Thank you to Fryern school children, their schools and families.
Yes, despite the heavier than expected rainfall we enjoyed chatting to visitors and organisations in the Chandler’s Ford community The community spirit certainly shone through on Monday afternoon.
Hi Janet, thank you for your wonderful work, we at Chandlers Ford u3a certainly appreciate all that you do. We were pleasantly surprised at the resilience of the community in the face of the weather which exceeded expectations, sadly bringing the event to a premature close.
Hi David, indeed, it was a fabulous event. I am glad I arrived earlier on Monday and really enjoyed the whole thing. I later took shelter at the plant stall :-). u3a is amazing and thank you all for your wonderful contribution.
