Teddy Bear’s Picnic 2009

Sunday 21st June

The venue for the picnic, Highnam Court, was a perfect setting with the beautiful laid out gardens that are owned by the Appeal’s Chairman Mr Roger Head, DL.

Alder King Ltd supported the event and their employees joined the family day out. 

The day proved to be a very happy successful day and children had a great time making Father’s day cards and many other activities and games that were available for them to do.

Debbie Casling from Gloucestershire Golf Partnership joined us with the Para Golf equipment that Pied Piper recently donated. Children were invited to lean about the game and invited to participate in a round of golf. 

The miniature hot air balloons proved a great attraction again this year. Children were invited to let their teddies have a ride in the mini balloons and were given a certificate to confirm they had “flown”.

Children were invited to take part in the garden and teddy competitions. The winners were Rhianna Wiemer (age 7) and Connie Bennett (age 10).

Star 107.5FM joined us for the morning and help to promote the children’s games and races. Brian the stations Teddy mascot joined the children in some of the races which the children thought was very funny

The photographer for the day was Ian Cameron. Catering was supplied by Three Counties Caterers who served Big Pan Paella that was very popular and sold out fairly quickly.
