January 2014 News

Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I know it's been nearly a month since Christmas and New Year but better late than never ;-)

Over the last week or so in the park the boys from the City and County Council of Swansea have been working on clearing a drainage ditch that runs from the small woodland near the Gwynfryn road entrance around the back of the play area and into the old boating lake. Or as a regular user of the park named it "The Riverside Walk"
We hope this will be a help with the flooding we are experiencing in the park due to the weather.
There are other things that also need seeing to which can help things further and they are being tackled one bit at a time. So as usual we offer our thanks to the Council for their help and time.

And Next Wednesday the 29th January at Pontarddulais Cricket Club we will be holding our first meeting of 2014 as usual everybody is welcome to join us.
