It’s time to get fitter!

The new outdoor gym equipment has now been installed in the play area, thanks to a very generous donation from the Morrissons Foundation. The equipment is suitable for teenagers and adults, so there is no excuse for not getting down to the field and giving it a go.

I would like to say a big thank you to the volunteers who helped to remove the old rotten equipment and to level and reseed the sunken areas. Please can you keep children off the re-seeded areas for a few weeks.

For those of you who wondered why the old wooden structure and slide had to go , take a look at the picture below of the rotten wood which was holding it up!!! The metal slide had also been highlighted as a problem in the last inspection and a new split had just developed.

The play area has no source of funds except donations , grants and fundraising, so if you feel like getting involved with some fundraising or grant applications for our next piece of equipment please let me know.
