June, 2018:

PLAY FOR ALL!

I have heard some depressing rumours that children have been told that the recently broken group swing, was not for older children. THIS is very incorrect. It was especially for secondary school children to enjoy. We support the right to play for all children. The fault is with the play company (not one we would have chosen) for supplying a piece of equipment with cheap timber. No doubt, that’s how they undercut other companies!

Farmers’ Market every second Saturday of the month.

Our little market is dwindling, and I suspect that I might be more accurate with my apostrophe if I moved it a little to the left. However, Whitegate’s Farm are still a great help with our regular funds. The rent from their stall has funded this year’s WWI meadow. The cornflowers are just coming into bloom and it looks set for a great floral display. So if you are in the park on Saturday, your support would be appreciated. You can buy seasonal, local vegetables and fruit, fresh eggs and Kent apple juices. Plus some great plants.
