A & W S T R E E T P A R T I E S Batjanstraat - 12 September 2010 Celebestraat - 4 September 2010 Celebesstraat - September 2009 Balistraat Street Party - April 2010
Photography: Karen Kommer & Fritz Griffin Balistraat has long honoured the ‘Straatfeest’ tradition. Usually an outdoor event in the summer, this year we held it on Saturday 10 April. It had to be a culinary and, above all, convivial banquet with fellow street residents! A registration form was dropped in the letterbox of all 121 Bali-houses so that residents could indicate their interests. In all 80 replied and were assigned to one of the seven “private” Bali eating houses.
A Meet-and-Greet was organised during the afternoon in the Thirty-Seven restaurant-club (Balistraat 1A); kindly made available by the management free of charge. And Mr Nomura of the Sushi Okinawa restaurant (Balistraat 3) nextdoor treated us to a large dish of sushi. Because of the extraordinarily beautiful weather, most of the afternoon’s programme took place outside in the large courtyard behind the uneven numbered Bali houses. We were very lucky!
“Oma” and “Opa” Gemstone/Broekarts of Kunsthandel De Edelsteen (Balistraat 82) distributed lovely amethyst and citrine crystals among the young ones who were fully occupied playing games, devouring pancakes and being entertained by Manny the clown. Besides all this two fellow street inhabitants sang to the rest of the residents, encouraging everyone to get to know each other better and to network more. A great success with young and old alike was Salvatore, who surprised us with his parrot show! In short: a formula for a most memorable street party, which should certainly be repeated. Bravo organisatiecomité ! Ellis Mensinga, May 2010

A & W S T R E E T P A R T I E S Batjanstraat - 12 September 2010 Celebestraat - 4 September 2010 Streetparty Celebesstraat – 6 September 2009 Weather Fine: not a lot of sun but dry. Fine feeling to know the food and drink would remain dry whatever the weather. The council subsidy this time meant we could hire tents. Party on Saturday Better than the Sunday, which clashed with other events. Right after the school holidays (6 September) and before the start of the football and field hockey season so no excuses not to be there. Car-free street = biggest playground ever Council permit and police cordon tape to close off the street; cooperation from the neighbours to empty the street. The kids had bags of space to play in and plenty of games, toys, go-karts and a bouncy castle rented from Sport-o-theek.
Colourful international gathering More than 70 adults and children took part, including members of the expat fraternity in the street. The Canadians took care of the BBQ; they had the biggest one in the street! The party certainly did its bit for better integration: an afternoon and evening full of chatting and fun to promote fellowship and mutual respect. Conclusion Let’s do it more often! | | |||||||||||
