Oh dear if it is on the 20th Oct, I'll be in sunny Portugal (looking at the forcast its rainy Portugal) playing golf.

Sorry mate but the next meeting of the Friends of Rhyddings Park will be on the 20th October at 6pm in the Craft room at the Town Hall.

I might be able to come after all. I'm not on stage until 7.30 and I'd only have to walk up the stairs. I'll try to make it.

There's a park in Brighton called Queens Park. They found greater community involvment when they changed the name of their organisation to The Queens of Friends Park.

Yes. Only Oswaldtwistle residents will be allowed to be friends ( there are a few exceptions ) but anyone is allowed to come as an observer. You live in Oswaldtwistle don't you?

That would include people living in Belthorn, Stanhill, and Knuzden I assume

firefighter753 · 15-10-2005, 14:24

What on earth are the exceptions?

Gayle · 15-10-2005, 19:17

People who are standing for local elections are not allowed to be on the committee. This was a little ruling that was added to the constitution recently - apparently it's to stop people using it as a campaign tool.

garinda · 15-10-2005, 19:25

Thanks. From Neil's post I thought it meant that exceptions would be made for a few chosen people outside of Ossy to become friends.

Gayle · 15-10-2005, 19:30

Not sure about that. Dorothy Westell was entitled to vote in the election because she's County Councillor for Ossy even though she lives in Clayton. There was talk that people who owned businesses in Ossy would be allowed to vote but in the end I don't think they were.

Other exceptions who can't be a Friend are people who aren't on the electoral register. So they may live in Ossy but aren't allowed to participate.
