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
