At the second meeting it was decided that most people wanted to keep it a local friends group with members who live in Oswaldtwistle with an interest in their park. It was agreed to change the constitution to reflect that view. At the same meeting it was agreed that no Councillors would be allowed on the committee. After all, it would look as though the Council was devolving the management of the park to other Councillors if any were on the committee. Local business owners who don't live in Oswaldtwistle but might be interested in sponsoring something within the park would be a good example. As would people who work in or for the park but don't live locally. Another example is Dorothy Westell our County Councillor. She said she did not live in Oswaldtwistle but would like to be involved.

Are you interested in being involved Gary? I am sure I could find you a job at the Halloween fun day that is being planned for the 29th October.

But I've met your children and they didn't find me at all frightening.

Judging by the silence, not to well

Not at all I had not noticed Gayle's post. The meeting went well thanks.

Nice event Neil - very lucky with the weather - hope you got the attendance you wanted!

Sorry I didn't have my two entering the fancy dress competition - they've both got really self conscious about stuff like that lately and neither of them were interested in doing it. From what I could see you and Cllr Hayes had a good selection to choose from!

Well i was there & came home with one bat box, 1 bird box, 2 willow art effergies, 2 goody bags from wardens, 2 kids face painted & very sore cold legs!!

............& dying for a brew

With all the space there i thought there would be more going on, though least it was dry & the cold wind managed to stave off till last half hour, the kids seemed to have enjoyed it & it got me away from the pc

In the end Gayle I didn't judge the fancy dress. I knew half the children so it was unfair. Brian Walmsley did it instead. Glad your kids enjoyed it Mel. Make sure you put those boxes up somewhere and see what lives in them. Hopefully our next event will be bigger and better. We are still learning and we will have more friends to help us next time. I have to thank the Neighbourhood Wardens who did most of the work today. They worked hard and made lots of children happy. I hope they attend our next event as visitors not workers. We estimated about 250 turned up for the fun day which I think is great given the time scales we had.

I've got to say I enjoyed the fun day. It was nice to see so many smiling faces. Some scary looking kids around, mind.

First class effort from the wardens!!!

That's a good turn out, well done. So what's the next event?

You soon made a sharp exit when I offered you a spade to help with the bulb planting

Mister Whippee · 31-10-2005, 02:55

Sorry about that, I am incapable of digging at the moment after a, shall we say, over-enthusiastic challenge by an Oswaldtwistle footballer on Monday night. Ouch. How did you get on with the bulbs?
