spaces to the public so please support it if you can.

Holiday @ Home
4-6 September
Come and enjoy a time of fun at Zion for
your Italian Holiday at home. Starting at 10am and finishing approx. 3pm each
day. For further details contact Lesley and pick up a programme.
One of our aims for the venture is to
create something for the community, allowing people living on their own and
those that are unable to have a holiday to be able to come along, join in with
activities and feel they have had a break from their normal routine. To help
this happen we are asking if anyone is coming on their own in a car, to bring
at least one more person with them that will benefit from the venture.
Highlights include:
† A
morning at the museum – Italian glassware, maps, pictures, holiday memories
† Cacio
al Fuso – a game similar to lawn bowls
† DVD
about Italy
† Film
time with the ice cream van in the interval!
† Italian
food demo
† Italian
theme Crazy Golf
† Italian
themed jigsaws
† Mosaic
crafts – make a souvenir to keep, or give away as a holiday present
† Tower
of Pisa game
† Visit
the Italian Scooter outside in the car park
If you know anyone that has an Italian car (Alfa
Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Lamborghini, Lancia, Maserati,
Pagani) that would be willing to come along on the Wednesday at some point for us
to have a look at and have a chat would be fantastic.
