Seriously, here's a pic of the Big Event, I'm sure Vic, Canny Lass and co who don't get the chance to see the Town as often as us locals like to have a peep now and again.

Vic Patterson Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thank you Foxy, I certainly do enjoy looking at pictures of people and events from "back home†it's been 14 years since our last trip. Nice seeing complete families enjoying "your birthday!†toddlers to grannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canny lass Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nice pics Foxy. Thanks for thinking of us. Is that a new bandstand at Atlee Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 It's just been refurbished with funding from Sita Trust I do believe.Check out leading link's website for the details on it. http://leadinglink.co.uk/index.php/news/216-former-miners-picnic-venue-big-reveal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks Brett! It's looking Lovely. It's a place with a lot of possibilities. I particularly like the 'mural'. A few of Malcolms park benches would look great alongside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Robinson Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Actually Canny lass… I have been working on getting a new footpath down into Attlee Park because the pedestrian access at the moment is not only stupid but downright dangerous! Having to step out into the roadway to get around the houses at the top of the bank..???? Flipping heck! Anyway the Town Council have backed the idea financially but we have just applied for grant funding to cover the cost to save ratepayers if possible. Whatever happens there will soon be a new footpath down into Attlee Park so pedestrians can access it safely. As you walk down this new path which will be cut into the bank at the side of and behind the old toilet block there will be 3 'Terrier Seats' spaced to offer respite to anyone walking up or down and the views will be fantastic too! We got the bandstand done now we just need to get people there safely then we can really start to push that area as an outside performing venue. (Especially if we can pull off a permanent electrical supply!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith lockey Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Any chance of a stair or ski lift, Malcolm!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Robinson Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The path will be something like 250M long with a gentle gradient so push chairs etc can use it Keith. And if I get my way with the next addition........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryg Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 That's excellent news Malcolm. Must admit this was the first time I've seen the refurbished bandstand up close, was impressed, especially like the way the ground has been built up level to it. Great work and a truly usable venue.

Brett Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Needs some ampitheatre seating with a projector so can have drive-thru/walk-thru cinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sounds like a good Idea, Malcolm and I'm sure the terrier seats will be put to good use, at least on the up hill walk, and good luck with the electricity. It's a great venue for all sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
