What a transformation!

A huge thank you to our eight amazing volunteers for planting 190 plants on one of the hottest days in June - Janet, Jayne, Rob, Carole, Richard E, Richard W, Steve and Jo. Just to make the job harder, we don't think there was a single hole dug without hitting large stones or tree roots!

Enormous thanks also to Gino Paletta and his fantastic team for clearing the area for us in April, and to 1st Affinity Fostering for their very generous donation towards the cost of the plants. A special mention also goes to Jerry O’Keefe for responding to a shout for help and coming out with his chainsaw at short notice on one of our volunteer days.

We hope the area will mature and bloom over the years to come and will be enjoyed by all those who use the facilities.

We are disappointed to report, once again, that a small number of dog walkers choose to ignore our request to keep their dogs under control and off the sports pitches.

Recently, several quantities of dog mess have been removed off both the cricket and football pitches. This is a real health and safety risk for all those who use the area and as this situation is not improving, we will be asking the WCBC Enforcement Department to assist us with this on-going problem.
