The
inaugural Mangere Bridge Community Picnic hit the Farm last
weekend, with around 60 locals gathering in the sunshine for food, fun and friendship.
Picnickers
had fun trying out the range of physical activities on offer, including disc
golf, volleyball, relay races and working out in a junk-yard gym. Others went for the more sedate pastimes of
finding gold in the hay, taking selfies with the horses, and guessing whose
poos belonged to who. The picnic
finished with a tug of war, pitting adults against children and boys versus
girls, and ending with a pile of happy people!
The day
was simple, relaxed and fun to organise and we’re hoping for it to become a
Mangere Bridge institution. This year, we
were lucky enough to have the junk-yard gym and relays courtesy of Mangere Bridge local Ian Campbell from ASAP Fitness. Next year, we’d love to have other contributions from locals too, so let Friends of the Farm know if you’re keen to
run an activity. Thanks to everyone
who came and made the day such an enjoyable one!
