Skate park consultation continues

by

On Friday 12th July, North Walsham Play hosted the 2nd consultation in connection with a new Skate Park. A packed out Costa Coffee helped to shape the design and requirements for the towns Skate Park.

We are now working closely with the team at Gravity Skateparks to bring about out version of the design below. It captures all the elements of what members of North Walsham want to see in their new skate park.

But we cannot for this alone! We really do need your help and support. Can you donate money, time, resources towards this massive fundraising appeal? If so, please contact us today!

 

North Walsham commemorates the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings

by

On Sunday 9th Sunday, the people of North Walsham gathered to remember all those that gave so much so that you and I could enjoy the freedoms we have now.

Various events took place in the towns centre, marking the 75thAnniversary of the D-Day Landings.

North Walsham Play were asked to be involved in terms of providing activities for children to get involved with. We gave children the chance to design and make their own spitfire and/or decorate their own medal.

Face Painting was provided by Face Paint Me Happy, with some designs having a D-Day theme.

Thank you to everyone who supported us.

A massive thank you for Costa Coffee North Walsham for hosting the event. We now have a lot of work to do to bring about new and exciting ideas/designs for further consultation. I think the photos below clearly show Community Consultation in action – I hope everyone who attended felt their views were listened to.
