In 2019, MVP decided that, after 10 successful years, the classic format Mortimer Fun Day deserved a rest and of course Covid lockdowns made re-starting impossible in 2020 and 2021.

In 2022 MVP supported the Queens Jubilee Celebrations organized by SMPC and in 2023 MVP together with Mortimer Music Live hosted the Coronation Event. So certainly no Fun Day in 2023.

Watch this space for 2024.

 

Advent 2010

This year saw Together in Mission able to put the Christmas tree kindly donated by Englefield Estate on the Fairground.

On Sunday 22nd November, children gathered in the Community Centre to make decorations for the tree from lollipop sticks, pingpong balls, and lots of glitter!  During the week the tree was erected and the decorations put on it. 

In the second of the three Advent events (on the first Sunday of Advent, 29th November) again children and parents came and made lanterns from recycled jam jars. They were joined by adults in singing a few carols before Thomas, the winner of the fancy dress competition, (what a great pirate!) turned on the tree lights. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event so special: volunteers, the Community Centre, St. John's School, Mortimer pre-school, Englefield Estate and, of course, everyone who made decorations.

The final event was carol singing on Saturday 11st December accompanied by a very welcome adhoc band of local musicians and with delicious mince pies afterwards!
