December Roundup

We kicked the month off by winning another award at the Fields in Trust award ceremony held in London.
This year we won for getting active on a Fields In Trust site. Which was fantastic result for our team as we have been very busy in the park through out the year and it is a great reward for all our members hard work.
This year Windsor Clarke accepted the reward on behalf of the group.

Also this month the Neat team has returned to help with the construction of the new BMX track which is being extended along side the current track. Pupils of Pontarddulais Comprehensive will soon be joining them to help out.

And we are now having articles published in the SA4 magazine which you can find in various places throughout the Swansea area.
We are looking for people to come forward to help us write the articles and if you know of anyone or are interested yourself please contact us at the email or phone number at the top of this blog.

Following on from the Friendship Tree tagging event a few weeks back the tree has become a focal point in the second woods with plenty of people stopping off and reading the tags.
We even found out who the tree originally belonged to (but if you want to know more you need to follow us on FB.)

As usual we are busy as ever on our Twitter and Facebook pages, if you would like to join us there please feel free as we always like to hear about peoples experiences around the park.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a Happy New Year and we at FOCBP thank you for your continuing support.

Friendship Tree

This year we grew a bigger crowd to the tagging of the Friendship tree in second woods.
150 tags were placed on the tree by group members and members of the public who came along to support this event.
We would like to thank everybody that gave a donation to have the tags displayed on the tree and each message is personal to every individual that left a message which makes it all the more special.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank You.

We at Friends of Coed Bach Park would like to thank the following companies that have been kind enough to donate materials to our project over the last few weeks.

Ark Fencing who not only supplied the wood to build the boardwalk but also kindly donated the bench.
