“There's no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue, there's no joy in merely doing things which any one can do. But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that you never thought you'd make”  -  unknown

By Anthony Halliwell

People of Bristol, you legends! Our appeal for helpers to create a Happy City Zone in the Amphitheatre in time for the Harbour Festival in less than two weeks has met with a stunning response.

We’re a long way from organised, but we’ve got enough great activities shaping up now to feel pretty confident the Amphitheatre will be good and busy!

Had a great day today with thirteen volunteers in full flight.  The film crew managed to produce the first short film (watch out for release tomorrow).  From a blank sheet at the beginning of the day, we've now confirmed the first six activities which will be there:

Creation Station, EcoJam, A Bristol Manifesto, ResourceSaver, Puppet making and See Bristol Happy.

Of course we made a lot of other calls and connections, but we think it's best not to tempt fate and report anything that's not a done deal...

HELP!!  We've just done a mad thing. We hope it's a brilliantly mad thing that may be the making of Happy City as a whole project - but we're going to need every ounce of support you can give....
