On Bank Holiday Monday 28th May 2007, despite horizontal rain and a fallen tree inhibiting access to the venue, an estimated 2,500 people of diverse nationalities, ages, abilities, beliefs and cultures gathered at the Watford Colosseum for Celebration 2007!
There was a dazzling array of performances, traditional costumes, ethnic foods and faith/culture sharing.
All the communities represented bonded enthusiastically and had a brilliant time.
The organisers, the volunteers behind the scenes and in fact the whole community really did more than was expected of them and pulled together, so that it all went off like a dream. The FREdome Visionary Trust is now moving ahead with the National Lottery-funded follow-on to Celebration 2007.
The aim is to sustain the tremendous community spirit generated here and enable the things that our community really needs and wants to happen. With so much goodwill and enthusiasm to build on, Greg Peachey hopes that as many people as possible will be able to come and take part in the “What for Watford?” Community Workshops at 10 am for 10:30 on Saturday 16th June 2007 at the Holywell Community Centre, Tolpits Lane, Watford, Herts WD18 9QD.
