Myself and my son both enjoyed 'go scatty in gatty'. He got the chance to have a go at the climbing wall which he had never seen before. I met up with a number of people I hadn't seen for years. I also found out about community groups in my area I didn't know existed.
Although I'm not knocking Mela to me it doesn't seem to have the same atmosphere that the 'sound years' had.
But that's no reason for this borough to be deprived of them. I think they bring a bit of relief to the long summer days for those of us who can't afford to go to sunnier climes. At the end of the day there is very little to do that doesn't cost the earth, there are no longer kids clubs or punch and judy in the parks and the council has taken away yet more funding so that there is nothing left to do.
