Cheadle Muslim Association put on a Fun Day for all
The Cheadle Muslim Association Fun Day last Sunday passed off without the pouring rain we had yesterday, and was the best attended I can remember.
The event, at the mosque in Heald Green, is for the whole community and is well attended by muslims and non-muslims alike.
Attractions on Sunday included stalls selling everything from curries to jewellery, a bouncy slide, football, cricket, tours of the mosque and a magic show and archery demonstration for the kids.
I was able to demonstrate my rather limited athletic prowess, leading my team to fifth place (out of six) after the relay race, egg and spoon race, sack race and tug of war. The highlight was a tug-of-war between the winning team and the mosque committee. To make it a little fairer, the committee were assisted by three fine member of our neighbourhood policing team and that swung a tight 2-1 victory for the committee and police.
These fun days get better every year and I can genuinely say it’s a good and very enjoyable afternoon out for the family.
