On Saturday 13th September from 2-4pm, neighbours got together to attend the annual general meeting of the Friends of Devon Gardens.
The locals gathered together and brought refreshments for the event which included classic home-baked cakes, cupcakes and flapjack as well as traditional Asian specialities like samosas and pakoras. Representatives from Activity Sheffield also came along to provide sports activities and entertainment for the children.
The Friends of Devon Gardens is a group that has been together since 2007. They ensure that the park is maintained and looked after well so that everyone in the community can enjoy it. The annual meeting is a great way for neighbours to get to know each other and come together for a fun day out.
This year’s meeting was extra-special as it was the last time the group leader Philip Jakob would be there. He is relocating abroad after he has received a job offer as Director of Music in a Catholic Church in Florida. The other group members all wish him luck and some of them left the following comment:
“We're really sad to see Philip go. He has been instrumental in keeping the group going and we wish him every success in Florida.”
