Last night I had the pleasure of celebrating New Years Eve with other Kennet Island residents at the Island Lounge which is a licenced venue on the Central Piazza run by Oliver and Maralyn.
The evening was themed around the 60’s and 70’s and residents came in fancy dress – me included as I arrived as Elvis!
Events like this are important as they bring the community together and you get the opportunity to meet other neighbours in a fun way. I have always said that developers such as St James only build houses – not homes – so it’s up to Residents Associations such as KIRA and Community Campaigners like myself to try and build a thriving community. KIRA, for example, puts on a number of Annual Events such as the May Day Celebration and also supports the Monthly Quiz Night.
