The Portland fire brigade is always willing to display their skills and share from their wealth of knowledge.
Come and try out your coordination at water balloon volleyball or the jaffa smasha. Remember, this is a fun day and free.
If it is raining 'the show will still go on'. Just come over to the Community Centre on Villier Street in the grounds of Portland Central School.
On Good Friday, April 19 you may like to walk along with many others in a remembrance walk called 'The Way of the Cross'. There are reflections on the events of the First Easter, from Jesus' trial to death and resurrection.
We leave from the skate park at the lower end of Lime Street at 11am. You are very welcome.
