Equals

On the 9th December 2009 the 20 people attended a joint Eid and Christmas celebration held by the Cowes friendship group.

Everyone brought food to share so there was a mixture of traditional Christmas goodies and Indonesian and Bangladeshi food. One of the ladies made a Mosque out of layers of rice and vegetables. This was very impressive to look at and tasted even better.

Two members of the council talked about next years budget and took the groups views on where the money should be spent. The members  filled in forms stating which services were the most and least important to them. It made everyone think about how the council divides up the money between all the services they provide.

The two council members stayed and enjoyed the event. There was a real party atmosphere with everyone talking, laughing and enjoying the food.
