Green Day Mini Golf & Cafe Opening
Ken Brown officially opened the 
new mini golf.
The Town Crier,
Lord Mayor and
local Councillors,
FoWP volunteers
were all invited.
Giant Hogweed
Giant Hogweed has been found by the irrigation pond and beside trees on the Golf Course. It has been treated and will be monitored.
Memorial Tree – Scott Butterfield
The tree was planted in memory of Scott at the request of Margaret Butterfield who works at the Co-op. Scott died of a brain tumour and left behind his wife and two young children. Scott and his family were regular walkers in Westminster Park and it is hoped the memorial tree will bring back memories of happier times.

FoWP Volunteers – Wednesdays 10.00-12.30
Another Wednesday morning, another fabulous day in the park. Annemarie, Phil & Charlotte started pulling up the ivy under the trees in the copse by the playpark. The plan is to prepare the ground and put some spring bulbs in. If you are sorry you missed out on this fun job, don’t worry, there’s more left for next week! Andreu was cutting back some overgrown trees so the whole area will be refreshed. Linda & Mike completed the job of extending the chippings path through to the back of the habitats and round to the containers area. We were very happy to see a walker & dog enjoying the newly completed path. Gill planted some spring bulbs at the Cliveden Road entrance and Niall made progress cutting back the overgrown brambles.
It is a pleasure to work in the park so if you fancy joining our volunteer team, come along on a Weds morning, 10am by the sports changing room or find us in the park. Tools are provided, just wear sensible shoes & bring water if it is hot.
