The woodland walk

Older children’s play space official opening: Thursday 16th June2011

The work on the older children's playspace started at the end of March 2011 (see photo) with earth digging equipment.
Now, mid-June, the Friends of Mayow Park are really delighted at the completion of the new play space and that a bit of woodland has been incorporated into the final design. More woodland could be included at a later date.

Thank you to everyone involved:

·         Lewisham Greenscene who supported the idea and the Playbuilder funding application
·         Groundwork for designing the space and managing the whole project
·         All the young people we consulted during 2009
·         Glendale for constructing the space so carefully
·         Local young people (and adults) who have waited for it to be finished

Above all, we hope that young people will enjoy using the equipment.

Film night in Mayow Park 14th July 2011

As part of Sydenham Arts Festival (SAF) there will be a film night in Mayow Park on 14^th July. The main film will be ‘The Italian Job’, the 1969 film with Michael Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill. SAF needs more volunteers for this and other major events. This message is to invite you to sign up to help as volunteers for that event.

SAF will hold a volunteers meeting at the Golden Lion Pub (opposite the Dolphin, at the other end of the high street) next Saturday 25^th June, from 11am for about 1 hour. This will be a training session for those who wish to help steward the big events, and there will be a briefing on basic stewarding skills, use of walkie talkie, crowd control etc. Find out more about SAF on http://www.sydenhamartsfestival.co.uk
