Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (S.A.G.E.) attracted hundreds of people to its annual Goldenhill Fun Day.

This long standing community event is proving increasingly popular, and attracting large numbers of people both locally and from across the city.

This year, event organisers invited Becci Bryant, Staffordshire’s Chief Fire Officer to officially open the day. Tom Simpson, Secretary of S.A.G.E. and Becci shared positive comments on how Staffordshire Fire Service and a residents association can complement each other to improve it’s environment.

Activities on the day included, New Vic Theatre Borderlines Mask Drama & Puppet Making Workshops, Paul Warwick’s Fair Rides, 27ft High Climbing Wall, Gladiator Duel, Bouncy Castles, Face Painting, Balloon Modelling and much more.

Special thanks go to Staffordshire Police & “KASH” Police Dog Mascot, Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service, City Council’s Children & Youth Services Team, Dance Music Live & Councillor Jason Owen & volunteers who agreed to go into the “Wet Sponge Stocks.”

This year the event attracted over 30 Table Top Market Street Stalls, which were all undercover, and gave the occasion that special purchasing/browsing opportunity that shoppers enjoy.
