Newport Road street party 2015
Saturday 6 June 2015 – we’re back again, with another excellent street party for the Big Lunch weekend! The weather was fine, and about 150 people came again for an afternoon of fun. The famous ‘hook a duck’ game was back, and another fiendish quiz, this year courtesy of Rod – with prizes provided by the Standard Tandoori. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped and the residents of Newport Road for hosting. And special thanks to the Moderation for the delicious curry, and to Chris for stepping in at the last moment and cooking an excellent barbecue (and Jonathan for assisting)!

- We cooked our own barbecue food this year, and chef Chris was certainly kept busy.

- Another afternoon of great family fun – looking forward to next year already!
