Halloween Howler 30th October 2003

WOW! What a night!
Hundreds of tiny witches, wizards, skeletons, hulks, devils and ghosts descended on Clayton Vale last week for a Spooky walk to visit the ‘Friendly’ witch and listen to her tell the story of bad people trying to spoil the Vale and frighten children. They all became honorary ‘Friends’ and promised to help look after the Vale before returning to the disco.

Manchester Youth Volunteers

Once again we were amazed by how many local families came along, it was wonderful to see you all. Thank you to all the children for dressing up, hope you enjoyed yourselves and a big thank you to all the parents for making such fantastic costumes.

Many thanks to the Manchester Youth Volunteers who, with the Community Artist, provided our Spooky happenings along the walk, the Games Volunteers, who as always were there helping and supporting us, Manchester Leisure Staff, the Medlock Valley Officer and Groundwork Manchester who funded the event through their Make a Difference in East Manchester grant scheme.

The BIGGEST THANKYOU is to a very special Friendly witch, who wrote and told the story.

It was a magical night and proved to us, once again, that we are right in helping to preserve Clayton Vale so that future generations will be able to enjoy it’s beauty and magic.
