The free outdoor gym fitness sessions organised by the Friends Group and run by Craig Brown, our fitness qualified instructor, will re-start on Monday 7th April 2014 at 11am.

Just a reminder about our Easter event in the Park on Saturday 12 April 2014.

Many thanks to those who have already given donations i.e. Bean & Brush, Wilkinsons, Taylors of Sale Moor, Co-op Sale, Post Office in Sale Moor. WH Smith, Hugall Chemist in Sale Moor, Mace Store Sale Moor, Fleur de Vie Sale Moor, and the anonymous person who donated a bottle of port.

The Friends Group will be holding their Easter Event in the Park on Saturday 12 April 2014, starting at 2pm.

We hope that, as last year, the Easter Bunny will make an appearance.

On the day, this little rabbit will be helping to raise money for Trafford  Cats Protection.

This teddy bear recently lost its owner in Worthington Park.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,700 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

The “Carols by Candlelight” event in the Park on the evening of Monday 16th December 2013 was a great success with about 100 people attending.

Congratulations to Magdalen and David Donlan for having the original idea and organising the event and many thanks to the gospel choir for their beautiful singing.

Visit the Park and bring a bauble to decorate our community Christmas Tree. The tree was planted to commemorate Sheila Dingwall who was Secretary of the Friends Group for some years. The tree is near the statue of Joule.

This year we have joined forces with our Friends at Walkden Gardens to get the Christmas season off to a flying start!

The joint event will take place at Walkden Gardens on 7 December (please see poster), and we have invited Father Christmas to join us there.  He has managed to fit us into his busy schedule, and will be able to see all the children who attend.

Please come along and support the event, which will raise vital funds for Worthington Park and Walkden Gardens.

Entrance to this event in Walkden Gardens is FREE!

 HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
