The GUV Summer Event took place on Sunday 4th July and was a fantastic success! There were stalls to provide information to the community along with the police TSG and the Greenford Broadway Safer Neighbourhood Team. The Caribbean and Thai food and drinks were well received as well as the wine tasting! As usual the music was provided by our resident DJ who provided the entertainment along with Nikita who runs the Freestar Academy a performing arts club– a formidable team! Sports races were popular as were the inflatables and the streetdance, Thai, Zumba and Shaolin Kung Fu displays.

Christmas Shopping Trip to France on Saturday 2nd December!
The group met outside Costcutters and we set off at approximately 7.00am for Dover. The coach was well equipped and had a DVD player so I thought Pirates of the Caribbean was quite appropriate! We arrived at Dover in time for our ferry and arrived at Cite Europe in France by lunchtime.
After 6 hours of shopping and lots of bargains later it was time to head back to the ferry terminal for the return journey home and a last attempt to get some Duty Free items.
The film on the way home was Men In Black II which was missed by quite a few sleepy passengers and we arrived back on the GUV at 11.15pm.
We are hoping to run another trip near to Easter and will be advertising next month on the village.
Cite Europe in Calais The Genesis Crew Ah bless!
