Half-term Event 28 Oct

5/10/2022

 
As outlined in the minutes we are looking to organise, alongside the borough Council Parks Development Officer, an event in Whitecotes Playing Field during the half term break. 

When: Friday 28 October 10-12

There will be an opportunity to make bird boxes for the field, along with wild flower seed bombs, to be dispersed around the field.  There will also be an explorer activity for the children. All the materials will be provided, along with clipboards and maps of the park for the explorer activity.

Click on the poster (PDF) for full details.

If there is anyone with a couple of hours to spare to help on the day, or who has a large water container with a tap that we could borrow (seed bomb making is particularly messy), please contact us.

Hope to see you there. We would appreciate it if you could spread the word via friends and family.
