The organisers of the Sutton Coldfield Community Games kindly gave us entry and set up gazebos with picnic tables for us. Despite the odd shower, the children enjoyed a range of sport activities and even had a go at being a fire crew member.  Picnic spread Shooting for the hoop Learning about sailing Paddle boarding Archery Inside a fire engine Practising paddle boarding The sun’s out finally Army entrance test A nice get togethe…

We celebrated Ukraine’s Constitution Day (June 28th) with Ukrainian food and music, an ice cream van, arts and crafts, games for children, and ended the day with a visit to a traditional English pub.

A celebration of the national clothing of Ukraine, which is embroidery made from homemade canvas woven on a loom.  After face painting, the children made salt dough ornaments and played games while parents enjoyed a drink and chat.

Making new Ukrainian and British friends and meeting old ones at our weekly coffee mornings and monthly events in North Birmingham; a chance to mingle, chat and try new things. 

Guests were given a very instructive clay pottery workshops run by Petra. There were some really nice creations from cups to vases and sculptures. Their work made it to the cover of the Midlands Potters Association Magazine.
