Come and be part of this event and meet lots of people you don’t normally see.
Could you please bring a plate of food to share and/or a cake to sell.

Any questions to Tony Berridge or Tim Spinney. Telephone 01985 214441.
Please see the full details in the June issue of the St. Denys’ Church magazine:
We expect you will know that Warminster has resettled three Syrian families over the last year. Most of this has been done on a volunteer basis from Christian, Muslim and non faith backgrounds, with Council support.
This party is to celebrate these families’ arrival and initial settlement here. It is a chance for them to meet all those who have been involved and collectively have some fun. It is also a time for those interested in what has happened to find out more. Come along and be part of this event. There is no charge for entry to the event itself. There will be food* and Syrian food tasters. Also there will be various stalls from henna and candle art to cakes, horse and carriage rides, and the whole park to play in.
There will be Clergy from various Churches and Trowbridge Mosque in attendance together with the Police Community Unit.
The only cost is whatever you wish to buy. Otherwise all we are asking is for a donation. At the end of the event the donations collected will be divided equally between two local charities who have helped the families. These are the Warminster & District Foodbank and the Friends of Warminster Hospital.
Do come along and see what it is all about. It is very much a time for children. We hope there will be good weather and we all look forward to seeing you there. – Tony and Tim.
* P.S. Since writing this, we have been very excited by the positive response and potential take up. Because we have no final idea how many people are coming, and we hope it is lots, we are having to change how we arrange lunch. We are now asking those coming if they would be kind enough to bring a plate of food with them which can be shared. To overcome any possible problems with things being Halal may I suggest you bring vegetarian items please. The idea is to have a sort of bring and share buffet picnic!
All we need now is brilliant weather and you to come along!
