a team (4-6 members) or come on your own and join up with others on the night.

The Olympic Flame will be passing along the Bath Road at about 5.45pm and
there are lots of activities planned by the traders along the road that afternoon. Come along and join in their celebrations.
Hullabaloo Festival Cancelled
We were planning a Big Jubilee tent at the festival on the 2nd,3rd and 4th of June, but have just heard that due to the flooding it has had to be cancelled. Our thoughts go out to Anthony and his team as we know how much hard work goes into organising such big events.

Meet and Eat - Monday June 18th
Our first "Meet and Eat" event at the Suffolk Kitchen was a great success
and we are now planning our second evening which will be held at The Tivoli
on Monday 18th June. Please contact belinda@cheltenhamconnect.co.uk
if you would like to come.
A Good Week - www.agoodweek.com
We are planning to join in with the Good Week from the 18th to the 24th of June
and will be sharing some of the thoughts and ideas that people have.
Autumn Fair - Sept
Our new events team are are currently exploring the idea having an Autumn
Show and Share in the second or third week of September. The plans are for a community event where local residents would be invited to show their home-made
or home-grown passions, and prizes would be given for 'best in show' under a number of categories. We're thinking 'the biggest home-grown potato in Cheltenham",
or "the best home-made Cheltenham pudding", and opportunities for children and young people to share their creative talents.
We're holding a brainstorming meeting for anyone who might want to get involved in organising it or have ideas about what we could show and share on Tues 15 May at 7.30pm at the Exmouth Arms. If you'd like to come please email vanessa@cheltenhamconnect.co.uk or just show up on the day!
Connect Business Day 2012 - Sept 27th The Connect Business Day that we ran last year was so popular that we are now planning the 2012 event and already have some very prestigious speakers lined up. This year we are holding the event in the Forum on Lansdown Road and we are currently taking expressions of interest from any South Cheltenham-based businesses that would like a stand. For more information about this event please email belinda@cheltenhamconnect.co.uk
