Another great Bat Walk last night...the weather was really kind to us too...plenty of lovely fancy dress costumes on display and quite a few bats heard around and about...thank you all for supporting this event each year...please feel free to share your own pictures, we were all too busy having fun to take many.

Before we post some of the pictures from last night's "Bat Walk" we just wanted to say we sadly had 1 less bat detector when we counted up than we started with.. I am sure nobody has taken this deliberately and it is probably in the bottom of a pram or something...if you can let us know by private message if you find it, we can then arrange drop off or collection. As we said before the walk, these detectors are in excess of £100 to replace, many have been bought by our group in the past and they are used by other Community Groups too..we spend a not inconsiderable amount of money on this event, prizes, sweets and hot chocolate cost over £100, to have to replace a missing bat detector too is really disappointing..if you can check if you still have it we would be really grateful .

Last night we were proud to attend the Halton and St Helens VCA awards. These awards are a great chance to listen to all of the amazing work that goes on across the Boroughs and a reminder that the good outweigh the bad. it is always a privilege to be nominated but I am very proud to say we won, not just the team award but our very own Violet won her own award too. We are proud beyond measure and will continue to encourage and support our community to love the park as much as we do...

Great news music fans. We've managed to rearrange the jazz at the bandstand that was cancelled last week. So better weather permitting bring your picnics and settle in for some top summer jazz tunes. Sunday 9th 2pm to 4pm at the bandstand. Be there or be square.

We can confirm that the only thing that will stop the music on Sunday is heavy incessant rain. So far we have a forecast of some showers in the morning but should be rain free from 2pm to 4pm when we'll have some great laid back summer park jazz. Please come along and enjoy the music, bring a picnic. Reasonably priced tea, coffee and juice will be available.
