Working Parties are good for you!
Mar 2, 2009
At last year’s AGM we were fortunate to gain the services of Joan Clark who took up the mantle of organising working parties to carry out work in the park.
Joan organises monthly working parties and tells us that it is both sociable and a good for working off those calories. All we know is that there the park looks even better thanks to Joan and her band of trusty volunteers. If you would like to join in please contact us and we will pass on your details to Joan.
Thanks to WORKAID (now based in Chesham) we now have some tools of our own.
News & Events
The Friends are moving the weekend working party to the second Sunday of the month and the next one will be on Sunday 12 February. We hope to be pruning roses, weeding the beds and then take a look to see if the snowdrops we have planted over the last few years are coming through. We meet at 10am in the Archena Garden which is next to the Temperance Hall in Church Street.
The Friends are hoping to plant around 30 native tree saplings in the Wildlife Area at their working party on Sunday 8 January. They have been donated by the 10th Chesham Guides and were given to them by the Woodland Trust. The varieties of tree include Holly, Wild Rose, Hawthron, Hazel and Dogwood.
We would like to thank Helena Mills who raised £570 for the Friends of Lowndes Park in memory of her good friend Ben Cargill. Over the course of the last summer she took part in not one but three triathlons. Please click on the title for more details and picture.
