Party in the Park and Parish News
Good afternoon all,
Party in the Park
It looks like the weather is going to hold out for the Party in the Park at the weekend. There is so much going on including Chariot racing, Children’s colour run, various local community stalls with hook a duck, coconut shy to name a few.
If you are going to the event and think you could spare half an hour to also help out anywhere, you could sign up here: https://signup.com/go/tQaqssv or contact Cllr Nickie Webster to let her know (cllr.nickie.webster@whiteshillandruscombe-pc.gov.uk)
If entering the chariot race, the following disclaimer needs completing and returning to take part: Chariot Race waiver
And for all those children who enjoyed the colour run last year, we also need the attached form completed: Colour Run waiver
PLEASE REMEMBER THERE IS NO PARKING AT THIS EVENT. PLEASE EITHER WALK OR CATCH THE BUS. There is parking at Archway School where you can walk up from too.
New playing field benches
You may now have seen a couple of new benches in the playing field – one just below the shop which is dedicated in memory to Peter Hood who served the community on the Parish Council for 40years, and the second is a replacement in the orchard. We are due one more to arrive in the playing field soon to replace one just below the play area. Please do enjoy sitting on them and the views across the valley.
New play equipment in the play area and on the playing field
We are due to have the new playing equipment installed the week of 7th July lasting approx. 2 weeks. There will be some disruption during this time and the play area will be closed off. In the play area we are due to have a new roundabout and swings with pathways to access these. And on the playing field there is due a table tennis table and the basketball hoop will be relocated with a new surface.
We will need to cordon off 4 spaces on the car park for the contractors and one morning it is likely that the car park will be closed for a short period whilst the roundabout is delivered and lifted over the fence. Please bare with us and watch out for the signs of dates and times there may be closures etc. We are hoping this will all be in place for the summer holidays for everyone to enjoy.
Kind regards
