Scrubbers in the park

No it is not as bad as it sounds :-)

We have begun the clean up operation for the Play Area by the Tennis courts. So we can start painting the swings.

We really need help to paint the

children’s play equipment at

Coedbach Park.

If you think you can give a couple of hours of your time we would be very grateful, please contact

Chris on 07890416892 or email milgi@talktalk.net

Walk Leaders Training Day

A big thank you to the 9 people (and instructors) that turned up to this event.
Great fun was had by all.

News Update

Last weekend saw our second Bird walk which was led by bird expert Martin Humphreys.
Again this was a great success with everybody coming away having learnt something about how our feathered friends use the woodlands in the park.
We also gave our new banner it's first public unveiling.

Our resident Blogger/Photographer Martin Hanson (Left trying to keep his eyes open at 6.30am) next to the banner  which was designed by V Fuge.

And at last the Bluebells are popping up in the Second woods (Hooray!!!!) just a little more warmth and we should have a lovely blanket of them.
A big thanks Win and Viv (and anybody else I left out) for all their efforts in clearing the woods.
And as usual we thank the Swansea City Council lad's and management for keeping us topped up with chip bark to keep the pathways in good condition. And also to Bob and Jason for their superb efforts as well in helping to maintain the pathways. 

Bluebells popping up everywhere.
