We had a Big Lunch Street Party at Trinity Road and Seaview, and it was an amazing day. Nothing as grand as a Pipe Band (we did have Jerry the Ukelele player!), but a truly amazing day nevertheless. Just to see so many neighbours out in the street all day (we counted about 140 people in Trinity/Seaview), many meeting for the first time, sharing food and drink, having a laugh and watching the kids enjoy themselves was a great experience. We had a giant pass-the-parcel, a draw-your-house competition, quizzes and pavement art. We all mixed around the area too, with people coming across from Big Lunches in Ferndale Road, Cable Road and Lake Road, and people joining in from surrounding streets like Avondale and Grove Roads. It just shows what a fantastic community spirit we have here in Hoylake, and such a diverse variety of ages, backgrounds and nationalities. I reckon we had about 500 people out that day in Hoylake, so can't wait for next year - could we do it bigger and better? Sunday 18th July was a great day for Hoylake.
