Friends of Raphael & Lodge Farm Parks at Planet Havering - Monday 31st August 2009



This Sunday we were all at Planet Havering with our stall, which was beautifully constructed by Julia (left). We were in the corner between Friends of Cottons Park and Friends of Havering Country Park. The Essex Wildlife trust and Friends of Upminster Windmill were also in the marquee too.

The organisers couldn't have asked for a better day with the weather on Sunday - it was gloriously sunny.

We all took it in turns to greet members of the public throughout the day and answer any questions that they had. There were a few people who had heard of our parks but weren't sure where they were, so we helped with that; others enjoyed looking at the various leaflets on the stand as well as the selection of photographs.

We were glad that we could be there to help raise awareness of our parks and to meet with some of the other friends' groups.

Our next meeting - Monday 12th October 7.30 - 9pm, Romford Town Hall

Our next meeting will take place on:

Please come along to our meeting and support YOUR parks. We, together with Havering Park Services, wish to improve, protect and provide a safe and fun place for all to enjoy! We welcome anybody who is interested in helping us with our aims. The more support we have, the greater impact we can have as a group. We look forward to seeing you there, and if you are a regular, many, many thanks for your continued support.
