Councillor Denise Fox and Councillor Karen McGowan with Winner Sherrie
As part of our contribution to Friends of Frecheville Park and Pond fun day, Birley Ward Labour Party ran our famed £50 prize draw. But when the winner was drawn, a spooky coincidence was discovered!
Sherrie won £50 on our draw. ‘Sherry Baby’ is a famous song by the Four Seasons: it was their first hit, and became number one in the hit parade on the 25th of August 1962. 50 years to the day later, Sherrie won £50 in our prize draw!
We hope she had as much fun spending it as we did working all this out…
Birley Ward Labour Party at Frecheville Pond and Park Fun Day
Well done to the Friends of Frecheville Park and Pond for organising the Frecheville Park & Pond Fun Day (20 August 2012). It was great to see many members of the community out supporting the event. There was everything from rock climbing to trying your hand at fishing.
Birley Ward Councillors Karen McGowan and Denise Fox were pleased to be able to donate £60 to the Friends Group on behalf of Birley Ward Labour Party from a £50 draw and a ‘naming the doll’ stall. The winning number of the £50 draw was No. 28 and was won by Sherrie. Cllr McGowan said “this event was a great success and we hope that it will continue and become a yearly event”, and Councillor Fox added “thank you to Sheffield City Councils Park Ranger Service for the work they have been doing in supporting the Friends Group and for the work at this event”.
In September you will see that the pond will be fenced off whilst major work is undertaken to strengthen the edge of the pond. This work should take approximately two months. If you wish to join to Friends Group or just be kept informed of what is happening please email the Chair, Leon Pedryc at apedryc@hotmail.co.uk
