A group of the Friends met in Memorial Park to plant bluebell and daffodil bulbs alongside the path running through the wildlife area adjacent to the canal. Daffodils were also planted around Ian Rice's memorial bench near the entrance from the canal near lock 12.
At the same time as all this planting was going on Adrian Ellis and Dave Forber from the Parks & Recreation Team installed a new interpretation board near the memorial that explains the history of the park and how it was gifted to the community in memory of the men of Marple who died as a result of the Great War, 1914-18.
