The Laskett Gardens

Thursday, 13 June 2019, 10.30 am. Garden Visit.

The Laskett Gardens

Laskett Lane, Much Birch, Herefordshire, HR2 8HZ. 

The Laskett Gardens, set in the idyllic countryside of Herefordshire on the Welsh borders, are the creation of Sir Roy Strong CH and his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman. The gardens were begun in 1974 and continue to evolve. The ex-director of the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria & Albert Museum, now pursues a freelance career as writer, consultant and broadcaster and continues an active role in overseeing the gardens.

Admission to the gardens is £12 and includes a beautifully drawn plan of the gardens and an audio guide.

Please let me know by Thursday 6 June if you are planning to attend.

Whilst it is possible to do this as a day trip some may wish to make arrangements for overnight accommodation.

Best wishes

VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED

Belgrave Primary School has asked ‘Evergreen’ 55+ Club to take part in an Intergeneration Project on Friday 14th June, scheduled time 1.00 – 3.00p.m.

The aim of the project is to engage with the children in games played in the older generation’s school days, which are long forgotten.  It is intended to have 2/3 volunteers per class, with a class teacher, to interact with the children across all age groups.  ‘Evergreen’ members have provide lots of ideas, but we need more volunteers from the wider Community of Westminster Park.

If anyone can help out with: Cat’s Cradle/ Hopscotch/ Jacks/ French Knitting/ Marbles/ Long Rope Skipping, we would love to hear from you.

Please contact Sandra Magilton (01244 677373), for more details.

PCSO Tim Cooper

At the end of this month we say goodbye to our PCSO Tim Cooper.  Tim is advancing his career in Cheshire Constabulary as a police constable.  I am sure he will make a fine officer.  We thank him for all his hard work in helping to keep our Community safe and wish him well in his new career.

Tim is replaced by PCSO Lauren Davies.  Lauren is no stranger to Westminster Park and we welcome her back after her year policing in the city.  We look forward to meeting her out and about in our Community.

General contact number for Cheshire Police is 101

VOLUNTEER DAY – WEDNESDAY 13TH MARCH

Following on from the success of our January Volunteer Day, we have arranged another get together for 13th March.  The main focus of activity will be to move the cuttings from the coppiced hedge next to the Glan Aber tennis courts to a couple of locations:  the new dog walking area and the gaps in the hedge next to the pathway by the golf course.

In addition, the following will be tackled:

  • clearance of the path edges from the car park to the cafe area
  • the installation of footpath slabs or stones by the white gate on the pathway near to Glan Aber Tennis Club.

If you are able to volunteer please could you advise us in advance.  If you know of anyone else who would like to help with this effort, please pass on this note.

Look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on that day.  It will help to make our well appreciated open space even better.

Steve Telford, 

Chair, Friends of Westminster Park
