NEWS FROM JETTY FIELD. Despite the weather we have still managed to complete more work on the Pocket Park! The work morning went very well. Thank you to the 14 local people who undertook some magnificent work! We have also put up a new fence in the garden area and planted a beech hedge, this has been set off with the addition of some colourful primroses. We have been able to do all this as a result of generous donations and support from the "Friends of Jetty Field". We hope to be able to install a new "kissing gate" in the woodland area that will mean wheelchair users and children in "buggies" can access the field more easily. More trees and hedges will also be added to the area in the next few weeks. We have also been able to repair the path over the ditch the other side of the "kissing gate", on the left hand side of the field as you go down. The materials and the tractor were provided by the Harrison family. Thank you very much! If you have any ideas or suggestions do contact the volunteers on the usual telephone numbers that are displayed on our notice board. CAN YOU HELP? WE HAVE A WORK MORNING ON SATURDAY 15TH MARCH FROM 9.00 TO 12.00. DETAILS ARE ON OUR NOTICE BOARD AT THE TOP OF THE PATH LEADING TO THE POCKET PARK. IF YOU CAN SPARE AN HOUR OR SO YOU WILL BE MADE VERY WELCOME!
We hope to be adding more fencing in the Jetty Field area over the next few months. If there are any fencing contractors in the area who would like to find out what we require, please could they contact Mr. Pat. Herlihy (890590).
