ECHO Summer Party 2009
On Sunday 13th September we held our 5th ECHO Summer Party at Mountains Country House in Hildenborough. It was a fantastic day, and the weather as always was kind to us! It was lovely to see so members catching up with old friends as well as many new members meeting for the first time.
I would like to thank First Choice Inflatables for the fantastic bouncy castles and the human football table which they supply every year. Also a big thank you to Nesta Goldsworthy and her family for bringing their farm animals, which the children always love. Thank you to Henrietta Donovan for providing the excellent food and huge thanks to Beverley and John Lawson for their hard work and help leading up to the party and throughout the day as always.
