Report written by York runner
3 tasks in 1 today. Starting off by helping West Bank Park set up their summer fair. We were quickly issued with high vis & directed to set up the St Johns Ambulance gazebo. Luckily Leanne is an old hand at this & it was erect in seconds. Ed & Laura Ba were busy shifting tables & chairs around the park. After some initial location confusion three more gazebos went up in quick succession. Chairs were set up for the orchestra & audience with Laura Be, Leanne & Ed demonstrating air bassoon, guitar & knee drums. The 2nd task was setting up the Good Gym stand with Sam demonstrating how to use a sledgehammer for fitness. 3rd & last but not least was helping Laura Ba with the gazebo & setting up the Brunswick stand. Some of us headed home whilst some stayed to man their stalls.
Conservation work, edible planting, annual fairs and Christmas carols, pop-up cafes, fundraising to develop the park and playground, campaigning against cuts to the park's budgets, locking and unlocking the park each day and night, involving the community in decision-making about the park, children's and family activities, volunteering opportunities, etc etc!!
