Anyone for tennis?

Today (Thursday 19th June) saw the re-opening of the tennis courts in Coed Bach park.
A huge thank you to everybody involved in the effort to revamp the courts.
And as usual we had our regular tennis boys back in action straight away on the courts, and the new surface has met with approval.


Here's to a few more years of bouncing your balls in the park :-)

After the success of Tenis in the Park last year we will be running it again this year.
We shall keep you informed of the dates.

We are in the evening post and other news.

We are in the Evening Post today (wednesday 2nd november page 20) 

A bit of Good News! The earth has arrived and has been put in the brick roundabout by the gate so ........ if anyone has some spare daffodil or crocus bulbs then these would be most acceptable and we can plant them in this container.  Also a few members have said that they might have some spare Geranium Plants and I am sure you will agree these would be nice to plant up in the container next year as they are such a cheerful colourful plant.  Anyway, any other ideas would be most welcome as would a volunteer  who can mix a bit of cement so that we can fill in the missing bricks in the container.  I have sand, cement and bricks but I can't make cement, come to think of it I can't make cake either.

All the best

Chris
