Many thanks to EVERYONE who came along this afternoon to our brilliant Community Conversation! A great chance to meet up and make connections as neighbours!
Keep an eye on this feed: once we've caught our breath we'll start planning the next big adventure!
Heartening to see our local political reps standing with those neighbours who have joined our community here in this week's Chronicle.
AMFam's new plan for 'Community Conversation' also featured! Join us on Sunday, Ards Arts Centre, doors at 1.00, meeting at 2.00!
Reminder: we won't be holding the outdoor picnic this year, but you can come along for refreshments and a Community Conversation on Sunday, 18 Aug in the Ards Arts Centre.
Doors open at 1.00pm, hear from some neighbours, groups and agencies at 2.00.

UPDATE: Due to recent events we are revising plans for next week's event. For safety reasons we will no longer hold a picnic.
Instead, those willing to join the inclusive conversation can come in to the Ards Arts Centre from 2.00-3.00, Sunday 18 Aug, and meet the neighbours.
The mosque has been in Ards for more than 20 years, its members are our neighbours, friends & colleagues. It is a great relief that the nobody was hurt.
There is no justification for racism, violence & intimidation in our communities and like others I would call for it to stop.
1) I condemn in the stongest possible terms the heinous attack on the Muslim prayer centre in Newtownards. This attack is on, people, our neighbours, who live, work & school their children here, who work in the NHS, local.shops & are a part of our community. It is unacceptable!
