Working Party in the Park, November 2019<\/strong>
\nA group of FoSP supporters were fortunate to have a mild and dry afternoon (in an otherwise very wet autumn) for a working party which cleared ivy and undergrowth from the railings along the Headington Hill side of the park. This work improved the light and visibility into this part of the park and will help make the area safer for park users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fireworks Litter Pick November 2019<\/strong>
\nThis year there was less litter to collect than in previous years as the winds and rain earlier on Saturday resulted in a much smaller audience than usual. A team of FoSP supporters worked with others to swiftly clear the park of litter and rubbish.<\/p>\n

Working Party in the Park, 30 March 2019
\n<\/b>A group of FoSP supporters spent a sunny\u00a0 Saturday afternoon cutting back suckers and undergrowth around the lime trees near the Cheney Lane pedestrian gate. This work improved the light and visibility in this part of the park and will help make the area safer for park users.<\/p>\n

Fireworks Litter Pick November 2018
\n<\/b>FoSP supporters spent Sunday morning clearing up after the Saturday night Round Table fireworks. Several teams of volunteers came to help, which meant that we had the litter cleared by mid-morning. Well done everyone!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Working Party in the Park, November 2017<\/strong>
\nIn\u00a0November FoSP\u00a0held a working party to clear ivy, brushwood\u00a0and undergrowth from the railings along the Warneford Lane side of the park and down the fences behind Morrell Avenue houses.\u00a0A team of over a dozen volunteers spent a very enjoyable afternoon\u00a0working together and not only did we make a fantastic difference to the park, we also recruited several new members. Well done everyone!<\/p>\n

\"P1000858\"<\/a>Fireworks Litter Pick November 2017
\n<\/strong>The Saturday evening fireworks this year were better than ever, enjoyed by thousands and raising\u00a0funds for local good causes.\u00a0 <\/strong>The annual Sunday morning post-fireworks clear-up took place with the sun shining on us as usual! FoSP volunteers were assisted by Brookes students and the scouts, and with many helping hands the park was returned to its normal beautiful condition in a remarkably short time – thanks to all who joined us in assisting the Round Table in this necessary task.<\/p>\n
