It might be a bit late for this summer but visitors to the fields will now see five new picnic benches installed in the picnic area just inside the East Meadow. They have been purchased by the Friends with a grant from Awards for All which is part of the National Lottery.
The benches are of robust construction so they should be serviceable and attractive for many years to come. To avoid the table legs sinking into the ground, as they did with the old wooden ones, the feet have been placed on levelled paving slabs.
Of the five units two have extended tops at one end to allow a wheelchair user to sit under the table.
The Friends continue to develop and improve the fields and we hope this will add to the enjoyment of your future visits.
In addition part of the Lottery Fund grant was used to purchase a new gazebo which will be used at future events so come and pay us a visit.
