by friendsblogger - December 20th, 2016Today will be your last chance to see us at the Birkenhead Park Victorian Market. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and of course our team of volunteers who have worked so hard manning the chalet. The Market will be continuing until Friday so you still have time to see some of the other stalls.
Very Merry Christmas from all at Friends of Birkenhead Park

by friendsblogger - October 26th, 2016Put in a job at HYPE ground near Cole street entrance. Bags of fly tipping had been put over the fence by the entrance. Jim the head gardener had to get another tractor to use it’s digger to scoop all the rubbish into the two flat beds. It was not a job that should have been done by volunteers. The group went out early to the visitors centre to find another job & we sent them off in small parties to pick up litter from the booth by ground. The whole experience was one of 8 volunteers in search of a ranger and a plan of action.
