Dear Friends,
On March 11th we met for a walk around and visual audit of the park
in preparation for this year's Green Flag. Park Manager Paul Highman
noted all required reparations, along with our other suggestions for
improvements. Paul will work with our standards officers, the head
gardener and contractors Quadron to bring the park 'up to scratch'.
The visual audit was the purpose of this get together so no minutes
were necessary.

Thanks to everyone for braving the wind and cold!

OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON:
Tuesday April 15th at the Cafe Gallery, Southwark Park
Start at 6pm prompt (sunset at 7pm!)

On the agenda will be: working towards a successful future for the
group, current vacancies on the Committee, and Summer events and
activities in Southwark Park. If you have any items for the agenda
please get in touch. Meeting notes from January 24th and an Agenda
will be available on the night.

Please pass on details to anyone interested in coming to the meeting,
contributing ideas, volunteering time or skills, or joining the
committee. (We are looking for a Treasurer)

We look forward to seeing you!
The Friends of Southwark Park
