One of the highlights of the day was the Badminton competition our Chairman Bernie and Ben were branded the Badminton Bandits. Their nimble racquet skills and strategic smashes, they proved to be the ones to beat on the makeshift court. Charlie showcased his prowess as well, securing an impressive second place in the competition.

Though the sun occasionally played hide-and-seek behind the clouds, the inclement weather couldn’t deter the attendees’ spirits. Laughter echoed through the park.

Perhaps the most heartwarming moment of the day came from little Elsie, who was captivated by the day’s activities, especially the hula-hooping. As the event came to a close, Elsie tugged at her dad’s sleeve and exclaimed, “Dad, I like your friends!” This simple statement encapsulated the essence of the day.

The inaugural Essex Cornerstone Picnic served as a testament to the power of coming together, celebrating shared interests, and forging meaningful connections. Despite the weather’s occasional whims, the event showcased the resilience and enthusiasm of the club.
