Kites and Brollies

After months of speculation about the new play area we are pleased to announce that it is finally installed and seems to have the approval of local children who are enjoying the new features.

To celebrate the play area and other work that has been carried out in Newton Park we are organising a family fun event from 1 to 4 p.m. on Monday 5th May. (For those like your webmaster for whom the penny didn't drop - this is a bank holiday Monday!). Stick it in your calendars or personal disorganizers, or tie a knot in your hanky.

We will be providing activities for children including kite making, face painting and sports games, and we hope the weather will be warm enough for you all to bring along a picnic.

Last year's event, the teddy bear picnic, was a great success, so come along and make this year's even better!
