For all you dedicated runners and walkers out there, please note that there will be extra parkruns on Christmas Day and New Year's Day at 9am......what a wonderful, sociable way to work off that Christmas pud! Just to remind you, parkrun takes place every Saturday morning, come rain or shine, every week of the year, at 9am. Meet at the Good Friends cafe at the centre of the park and take part in a 5k run, at your own pace, with people of all ages and levels of fitness.
CANONS PARK GARDENING CLUB
Our lovely George V Memorial Garden is in need of some TLC!! Now that we have no park keeper, the council is only going to be cutting the grass during the year and tidying up the garden as and when it can. We desperately need keen gardeners - with or without experience - to help us return this little oasis of calm at the centre of the park to its former glory. Last year we formed a small but very effective gardening club that meets every third Sunday morning from early spring to late autumn, working from around 10am to 1pm - although everyone is welcome for whatever amount of time they can spare. The next sessions are on May 19 and June 9 and 30.
The sessions are sociable, fun and very rewarding. So far the group have cleared many of the overgrown flower beds and planted bulbs, bedding and perennial plants. Why not join them and make a real difference to the garden, for everyone to enjoy? All tools and equipment, including gardening gloves, are provided - or you can bring your own if you prefer - and we also provide light refreshments for tea breaks.
If you are interested, please email us and we will send you further details: canonspark@outlook.com
BIRD WATCHING WALKS
The park is teeming with wildlife, especially birds! There are many varieties to watch out for and everyone is welcome to join the group, whatever their age or experience. Walks take place from 10am to 12pm on the first Sunday of every month except January (walk is on the second Sunday) and in July, August and September when the walks do not take place as the trees are too leafy. Meet at the Donnefield Avenue gates to Canons Park. All welcome! Bring binoculars if you have them and we suggest you wear comfortable shoes. Stay as long as you like and feel free to join the group if you spot them walking through the park.
The next walk will be on Sunday 1 December.
