Cultural Olympiad - Bargate Wishing tree






Scrapstore volunteers and members of the Mini Millbrook Project (Southampton) and DICE (Eastleigh) had great fun on Saturday 27th September, taking their part in the city's celebrations for the Launch of the Cultural Olympiad.

The idea was to turn Southampton Bargate into a wishing tree, decorating it with shopper's wishes for the next four years and the run up to 2012.

To make it extra fun, members of the public made a 'mini-me in a nutshell' (minitures of themselves) to hang their wishes off.

It was a baking hot day, everyone topped up their tan and the colourful wishes attracted lots of attention!
