The Big Lunch in Chelmsley Wood

COMMUNITY SPIRIT: The Big Lunch in Hampton-in-Arden
last year, this time North Solihull is getting in on the act.

SIT down and take the time for a bite to eat with your neighbours this Sunday (June 1).

Chelmsley Wood residents will be among the millions around the country who will be taking part in this year’s Big Lunch event.

The annual get-together, first held in 2009, encourages people to share a sandwich, a cuppa, maybe a nice slice of cake, with fellow residents.

It doesn't matter if it's a full-blown street party or a small group sat round a table; the main aim of the Sunday luncheon is to promote a sense of community.

The Chelmsley event, organised by the Ashram Housing Association, will take place at the Bosworth Community Centre.

Bring along some food and enjoy the face painting, a bouncy castle and other family activities from 11am-3pm.
