A cold but unexpectedly bright and sunny Saturday morning kicked off our task day season for 2010. With several regulars still in hibernation it was a low turnout but a good to start the year in sunshine. It was certainly a pleasure to be in the park and see fresh shoots starting to appear everywhere but of course this was counter-balanced by fresh graffiti on our new boules display, a bench and one of the entrance signs. What do they get out of it we wonder?
Tasks included a review with Parks Area East Manager Jonathan Long on plans for the large shrub beds by the cinema and alongside the main path into the park. Well done to Patrick for coming along for this despite his broken ribs! In addition, we cleared the old rose bed, which was long past its best, gave the memorial beds a tidy up and Jim Heald's brass plates a polish. We also replaced the 2008/9 Green Flag with a fresh bright new one for 2009/10.
