Resound Walkathon– 11 July

17th May 2010

An exciting day for those who want to help raise funds for the Resound building. It starts at 11 am with a sponsored Walkathon along the Bristol-Bath Cycle path with 1,3,6 & 10 mile options, so should include all fitness abilities. If you are unable to walk (or run) it, then you might like to be a marshal. We need one more cyclist, 2 first aiders and 5 groups of 3 to man the drink and check in points. Some drivers will be required to pick up if needed. If you want to take part in either walking, marshalling or encouraging friends and family members to join in, or require more information, contact Nikki Mills on nikkiamills@hotmail.co.uk

Once all the walkers have finished there will be a time for bacon butties, fun and games, cake stall, bouncy castle and other entertainment at the Blackhorse Road playing field, (next to the cricket pavilion on Blackhorse Rd).

This will be a chance to recover from all the exertion and relax with some very reasonably priced food and games. So join us between 1:30 and 4:30 to celebrate all our hard work during the day!

The Resound Centre will be a new community building for Mangotsfield/Emerson’s Green with state of the art facilities. Resound will be home to a community arts centre, preschool, and local church. Our aim is to serve the local community and we believe that together we can make a really positive contribution to the life of Mangotsfield/Emersons Green and beyond.

A video showing a 3D representation of the approved plans for the building can be seen below.
