I would like to thank everyone who took part in Saturday's Barton Bash, making it such a resounding success.

The weather could have been kinder, but we didn't allow it to dampen our spirits and throughout the day, more than 800 people turned out to join in the many activities on offer or simply came along to soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

These community events would not happen without our merry band of trusty volunteers and so it's to them that I offer sincere thanks.

Thanks also to our sponsors and donors for their generosity and unconditional support.

It was great to see so many non-Bartonians in attendance. I sincerely hope they all enjoyed their visit to our part of the city and will return to an even bigger bash next year.
