With the imposed closure of the New Green Centre, the opportunity was taken to decorate the hall, the meeting room corridors etc. We also had the floor in the hall resurfaced. These were done ensuring that all social distancing was observed, normally these maintenance matters would have been performed during August and would have meant some activities and meetings would have had to be cancelled.
Out on the green we have installed three new picnic benches which have proved very popular
In the garden area we have had installed some play equipment for the up to 6 year olds, whilst also along with the council (and assistance from the National Lottery) we have had installed a trim trail.
As a mark of thanks and respect for all his efforts for the village in many roles, especially the establishment of the centre we have named the meeting room after Colonel Roger Bowden, and it is now signed as the Bowden Meeting Room.
We also found we had a wild animal invade the green, in the form of a snake. However upon examination it was found that it was a Stone Snake, thanks to the organisers.
The facilities are for the benefit of the villagers irrespective of age, gender, religion, or race, please feel free to use the facilities.
