My thoughts exactly.

You may have seen that there is going to be a Fun Day in Rhyddings Park on 21st July, 12noon - 4pm. There will be lots of things for people of all ages:-

Treasure hunt
Bouncy slide
Art & craft activities
Falconry display
Brass bands and Jazz bands
Performance of The History of Oswaldtwistle by the Ossy Players at 2pm

Plus the opportunity to speak to the consultants about the park

Also, the official opening of the pets corner

If you can't make it to the park on the day (or if it pees down

) you could always fill in the questionnaire online.

I do hope it's a fine day for it.

What on earth was the complaint about Neil? You just can't please folk sometimes no matter how you try.

Gayle · 13-07-2007, 22:13

Peacocks make a bit of noise when they are calling for other peacocks.

PS - I realise I'm not Neil, but he's not here - probably rescuing a peacock off someones shed as we speak

Yes there is a peahen so he won't be lonely.

Why not come along to see them on Saturday 21st from 12 noon.

Seeing as you are local you could always come to our next meeting on Wednesday 25th July at 7pm in the Craft Room at Ossy Town Hall. Then you can have your say as to what happens in the park.

If you look in this weeks Observer you might see two Councillors trying to take a cheque for £1500 from my 2 year old girl. Every time they touched it she shouted mine and tried to pull it back from them

garinda · 17-07-2007, 22:45

What theatre would you like to see and do in the park?
(please tick all that apply)
Shakespeare
Modern
Film making
Asian Plays
Other

I'm not being critical, honest, but who the hell designed the questionaire? Biggest load of tosh I've read in ages.

By the way, have put my name down for 'sailing taster sessions'. Will that be taking place in the bird bath in the rose garden?

garinda · 17-07-2007, 22:52

I haven't filled the questinaire in by the way, on principle, mainly because it's so stupid.

I will troll across to the Town Hall if I'm well that night though.

Neil · 18-07-2007, 11:48

The questionaire is a generic one to cover all of Hyndburn and not just Rhyddings Park. Yes there are some odd ones, it is a while since I filled it in so can't remember many of them. Please do fill it in just leave the daft questions that don't match the park. The more we get filled in the better, it will help with the lottery bid by showing how many people are interested in and use the park.

Ok, if it helps will fill it in, though I refuse to give my ethnic background, as that is totally irrelevant.

Did any of you go to the park today for the opening of the pets corner? I was going to go with my children but we weren't sure if it would still be on due to the horrible weather.Just wondering if all the activities went ahead despite the rain and what the turn-out was like.

I'll take it that nobody went then

There were loads of cars parked there, when my Mum tried to get out of her drive yesterday.

I hope people went to it, as I'm sure a lot of work went into it, and yesterday wasn't too rainy, so I hope it was a success.

The new and improved Pet's Corner is great, by the way.

Lilly · 22-07-2007, 15:45

Thanks Garinda.I shall go and have a look round very soon.It was a shame about the weather yesterday as,like you,I was thinking about all the hard work that must have gone into organising the day.

Neil · 22-07-2007, 18:02

Yes loads went, I don't know how many really, probably well over 500 during the day. The consultant had almost 200 questionnaires completed so that was a complete success.

The rain was fairly friendly to us. Even when it did start to rain people did not run away. There was things to do under cover and the bands kept on playing. The juggler never stopped even when it was raining quite hard, he was brilliant and the kids loved him.

You missed out on a great day.
