5	Events: Brentford Festival 2009 was held in Boston Manor Park on Sunday, 6 September. A most successful event! It was good weather and our pitch was in a sheltered position, out of any wind! So the gazebo stayed upright! Paul’s worms were stars of the show, as usual, with the ducks an excellent supporting act. We all agreed that this is an excellent community event which should continue to be held annually. Thanks to Friends of Boston Manor Park.	ALL
