The Friendship Tree tags are now available at Pontarddulais Library, ready to be hung in Coed Bach Park in December. 
Call in and pick a slice of the wood that is available, and then write in pencil your message. These will be burnt on by Gaynor Fuge who leads this project. 

Donations can be given to Friends of Coedbach park, at the library.

December 2016

It is nearly the end of another year and as usual around about this time the FOCBP have placed tags with personal messages on the Friendship Tree in the heart of the second woods.
As usual we thank our resident artist Gaynor Fuge for her efforts in creating these tags as group members know it is time consuming, and Gaynor has a lot of her own projects to work on so I am sure you would also like to join with us and say a huge 'THANK YOU GAYNOR' for all your efforts to bring so much comfort and happiness to people at this time of year.

2016 has been a huge year for the park and with so much we could say, I fear that I could be writing this blog for several more days!!!

So instead I have taken the easy way out and posted images from our other Social Media sites showing how wonderful Coed Bach has become in 2016.

A photo review of what made Coed Bach Park so special in 2016

November Roundup

The big news this month is of course the Seasonal Pond Boardwalk has been completed.
The NEAT team faced more difficulties than they originally expected, but they got the job done. Since it has opened it has become quite the attraction in the park with a lot of people commenting how great it is.
There are one or two little tidying up jobs to do around the area but the weather is delaying this at the moment. And as soon as we get the chance we will be straight in there.
We also give a huge thank you to ARK Fencing who provided the wood for this project and also kindly donated a wooden bench for people to sit on.

Planters have been placed by the Coed Bach and Gwynfryn rd entrances to the park and we are in the process of deciding what to place in them.

Work parties have resumed this month with several teams of volunteers clearing overgrown areas by the Coed Bach entrance and other areas around the park.
And of course litter picks are ongoing.

This month also saw an exhibition of the FOCBP Christmas tree tags and work we have done in the park being displayed at the Pontarddulais Library.
We thank Gaynor for her effort in setting this up for us as it does take a lot of time and planning to hold such a thing.

We finished this month off by holding a stall at the Pontarddulais Comprehensive Winter Fayre. Thank you to everybody who turned up to help run the stall. It was all worthwhile.

This year we decided not to produce any Calendars and have instead produced Christmas cards. These are for sale throughout Pontarddulais and can also be purchased directly from us for £4.50 for a pack of 10.
If you want to know where you can purchase the cards you can contact us through our Facebook page (link at the top of this page.)

There will be no monthly meeting in December as we have decided to head for the nearest pub instead to hold our annual FOCBP Christmas party.
But we will of course keep you informed across our social media sites on any park news as it happens.
