During our Tenant Forum in April this year, we asked our tenants for ideas to shape this year’s Peter Bedford Annual Events Calendar. One of the most popular requests was for a Summer Picnic – an opportunity for tenants and staff to connect in a relaxed setting with some fun, old-school games.
We’re thrilled we were able to make it happen! On 14th August, we gathered on a beautiful, warm day in Finsbury Park. We laid out picnic blankets and a delicious selection of picky bits and refreshments for everyone to enjoy.
The day ended with a lively game of rounders – a traditional British bat-and-ball game played in parks and open spaces since the 18th century, very similar to baseball. Anjum walked everyone through the rules, and while some tenants and staff were new to the game, they all quickly got into the swing of things. The game was filled with excitement, laughter, and some healthy competition, making for a perfect end to a perfect day. Let’s “Save the Date” for next summer!
