Happy New Year - lots to do!

This is a big year for Friends of Garston Park.

We've got new benches to put in. We've got a new noticeboard to put up. We've got the wildflower meadow to plant. We've got repairs to sort out and argue for.

And later in the year there'll be another Garston Park Fun Day - and we'll be there.

The Friends of Garston park got together to ensure more local ownership of the park and to make sure it is protected, improved and loved.

Do join us.

Our next meeting, also our AGM, is on the 18th February. Details will be posted here nearer the time.

Meanwhile though if you want to get in touch now, please post your details on this blog or e mail paula.keaveney@liverpool.gov.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Next meeting

The Friends of Garston Park have a committee meeting every other month and a general meeting every other month. These are always on the third Friday of the month at 6 30 at Long Lane Church (although we did take a break for August)

That means there is a meeting tomorrow (19th November)

Whether you are on the committee or not, if you are interested in the park you are welcome to any of our meetings.

If you'd like more information, do please let us know by e mailing paula.keaveney@liverpool.gov.uk or the Chair Alan Helsby at alanhelsby@blueyonder.co.uk

Friends of Garston Park - getting there!

People living near the Park should start to see some more improvements soon.

We've raised some money to buy some more benches and are waiting for delivery so they can be installed.

We've raised some money to pay for a new noticeboard so there'll be one at both of the entrances and not just the one by Whithedge Road.

And we have a commitment to some cash to plant a wildflower meadow.

What's more the City Council is going to help us by getting the existing benches refurbed.

So, a lot to look forward to for our park.
