There's lots going on in Kingston this weekend - the Kingston Regatta, Malden Festival and the Hook Fun Day. I managed the last two events and am off to hear Thames Youth Orchestra this evening.

Over in New Malden, Maggie O'Connor held a fitness workout for kids in aid of Young Kingston. She is a great communicator and encouraged over 70 children to dance and smile in the open air. Ian and I got to wear the Young Kingston t-shirts for the first time. Thanks, Maggie!

Then back to Hook for the Fun Day on King Edwards' Recreation Ground. This was orgainsed by Surbiton Rotary Club  for the first time last year, and this year the attendance really repaid the work that went into organising the event. There was entertainment all day long in the arena, a five a side junior football competition between local clubs, plus stalls and sideshows. Thanks, Surbiton Rotary!
