Sandyford based Churchill China are supporting Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association in this years Goldenhill Fun Day, which is on Saturday 2nd August by donating money to replace three gazebos, and payment to hire the much loved Gladiator Duel.
Churchill China have also offered valuable manpower where its staff have agreed to erect and dismantle gazebos where 30 stalls operate next to the village green, as well as engaging with activities across the event.
As a residents association, it is great that a local company such as Churchill China wants to support its community on this special day of the year where everyone comes together, and not forgetting donations to the event from Councillor Chandra Kanneganti’s ward budget and Sandyford McDonald’s.
This year we have asked David Williams M.P. to officially open the event for us, and we trust that residents and many visitors across the area will come and enjoy the day as they have done so since the very first one back in 2007.
