Tenants Day 2007

The annual Tenants Day was held this year at Denbigh Leisure Centre on Thursday 2 August 2007 and proved to be the best yet! With a 100 tenants present and 50 children participating in workshops at the event, it proved to be a great hit with both young and old, with more tenants attending than every before. Every tenant received an invitation and a reply card through the post and we received a great response with over 200 reply cards returned.

To see so many tenants attend was absolutely fantastic and from the feedback we’ve received, it proved to be a great success, with the adults enjoying a mix of hands on workshops, guest speakers and a light quiz. The young people had a day full of new experiences, with the younger generation enjoying a musical storytelling event, Fun bus activities and meeting TV favourites, Fireman Sam and Sali Mali . The teenagers tried their hand at hip hop with Ed Holden, from the Welsh band ‘Y Genod Droog’ at a specially created practical workshop.

Many of Cymdeithas Tai Clwyd’s partners were on hand at the event to offer advice and assistance to tenants.

During the day, the Association had an opportunity to consult with tenants with regards to maintenance matters, the newsletter, and we asked them what would encourage them to participate more in the Association’s activities.

Very encouraging feedback was received from the tenants and the evaluation forms reflects this. On the whole it was a very successful day and beneficial to both tenants and the Association. The publicity in the local press again built on the Association’s positive image.
