Wells Community Day 2024 - A Resounding Success

Wells Community Day, held on Saturday 20th January 2024, proved to be a wonderful occasion with over 70 stalls and Wells u3a was part of it!
Our aim was to confirm our with links the community, inform residents about our organisation and make new contacts.
Over 80 flyers spreading the word about us were handed out and 12 potential new members signed up to join.
The Cathedral was buzzing with so many folk all keen to take part and learn about the huge number of groups active in Wells and surrounding area.
The Priddy Singers, Wells Oratorio and the Rock Pub Community Choir entertained us with a diverse selection of singing.
Congratulations all round - the community spirit was so very evident.

In the evening a spectacular Lantern Parade processed from the Cathedral eventually completing it’s tour in the Market Square. Our lantern- a montgolfier balloon made by members (see picture), joined in with many many others. A magical sight, well supported by Wells citizens of all ages, ended the day.

Our thanks to the organisers, Wells Community Network and Project Factory for this opportunity.
