On Sunday 27th September ’09 Crawley Happy Times popped down to Langley Green playing fields for a great day out with organisers Crawley Borough Council for Connect ’09.
Chris Marsden & Iris Adley from The British Red Cross
PCSO's Tony Cook, Matt Froud, Debbie Hewlitt, Michelle Jack & Matt Saville
The event was mainly for the youth of the community. Present were such advise organisations who were all ready and willing to discuss most subjects handing out handy leaflets for future reference.
The stage was set and the music was played. It becomes extremely apparent how much musical talent we have when you attend these local events. We took some footage for you to enjoy which you can watch below. Some interesting up and coming performers in our eyes.

We also had the guys from Kung Fu Schools, Lindsey Murch and Alan Sawyer giving advise on self defense. Lindsey and Alan show the young ones how Kung Fu can build self asteem and confidence and help them if ever they needed to defend themselves. The participants, be it children or adults, also benefit from a great exercise regime, keeping them fit and health. Crawley Happy Times has been invited down to see what the school has to offer the community so watch this space…..

The day, first of it’s kind at Langley Green, was a great success. Adam Welton, Youth and Community Outreach Officer for Crawley Borough Council told us 500 youngsters had attended the event, which is a great achievement for the first event. We are sure we will see Adam and his efforts again next year.
