Big Draw, huge success, great day! Last saturday was exhausting but sooo rewarding. You never know how many people will come to your party especially when the invitations were different this year. As money was tight we deicided a different approach. We would contact local schools directly and involve them from the start. 4 primary schools were asked to make work to project onto a screen on the big day at Southwell Minster. And what a giant screen! A theme of homes and portraits tied in with projects we had planned for everyone when they arrived. Me and Heather built a giant Noah’s Ark – 12ft x 12ft with room for any creature. Butterflies were popular. But so were giraffes, bats and hawks. Dads, grans and babies joined in. Concentration, Apparently the numbers were massively up this year – we lost count but well over a 1000. Today the ark was recycled but the experience will live on forever :)
