The first task day of 2008 wasn't very well attended but there were still enough volunteers and park staff to offload and spread five wagon loads of wood chippings to mulch two large shrub beds between the Council Offices and the Bowling Green. Dave stood in for Adrian, who was not well, looking suitably dazed and confused. Fortunately he was able to stop himself falling over with a shovel and pick up truck. Good training is obviously of benefit in these circumstances.

It was good to see the Infants Play Area progressing well and it shouldn't be long before it is open for use.
