For UK BAM champs - 'The Great Get Together' - street party anyone?

I admit I love the title of the event - “The Great Get Together” - who wouldn’t want to join in! - Especially as it is in honour of Jo Cox this year, who, as it says below, “believed that we have more in common than divides us” - well that sums us up too, I should think.

UK Refugee Week (19-25 June ) is supporting the Great...
