I'd like to thank my agent....sob

No really. The Committee have asked me to post an entry on the blog thanking everyone who has put such a lot of effort into keeping the playground going over the last few years. Without their efforts, giving up precious time and materials, the few pieces of equipment we have left would have given up the ghost too.

In particular, the fort, which is staying even when (if!) we raise the funds for the redesign, would have had to be condemned were it not for several people who gave up weekends and evenings to rebuild it. Gates have been rehung and climbing frames mended.

I don't really know all the people who have contributed so I'm wary of naming names as I'd be sure to miss someone out. But we do really appreciate the work and it has made a big difference.

Also, it shows how much the play area is appreciated by us locals. If fathers and mothers give up hard-earned leisure time, you know there must be good reason. That's why it's so important for us to get this funding so that we'll have something worth saving and locals can use the facility they have worked so hard to preserve.

So a big pat on the back to all of you - you know who you are and so do we!!
