Friends of Lowndes Park Chesham

 

Lowndes Park has been recognised as one of the country’s best green spaces with a prestigious Green Flag Award. To celebrate the award, a ceremony was held in the park at midday on the 28th July, at which the Green Flag was raised on the park’s flagpole by Skottowes Pond. The ceremony was attended by Town Councillors, including the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Mrs Tina Michael and representatives of community groups, including the Friends of Lowndes Park, who have done so much to turn it into an award winner.

If you have been walking through the upper part of the Park in the last few days you may have noticed a number of people digging up various sections of it. Don’t worry they are members of the Chess Valley Archaeological and Historical Society trying to determine the age of the Rolling Pin and they would be delighted if you go up to them to have a chat about their work.

Thank you for the snowdrops you donated.

The 25 March edition of the Bucks Examiner carried an article about Judith Robinson's 'Battle to save geese in the park'. The Friends of Lowndes Park were not given the opportunity to give their side of the story so Michael Rowan, the Chair, wrote a letter to the paper.

On February the 28^th the Friends submitted their biggest funding application yet...

Hardly news, but we ended 2008 on a disappointing note. The Town Council was unsuccessful in its bid for heritage lottery funding under the Parks for People scheme.

Why not come and listen to some great music in the Park this Summer. On a Sunday afternoon during July and August you can experience a variety of music from Jazz, Blues, Rock, Brass Band, R&B, Concert Music etc and all for free. We would recommend you bring a picnic and a deckchair.
