We are planning a Family Fun Day to be held on the park, on Sunday 24th August 2008 from 11am to 4pm, the reason for holding our fundraising event on a Sunday was from the publics request after last year`s event. On the day Music, Grand Raffle, Arena Events, community stalls and more.

We are also looking for local volunteers to help out or run a stall for us on the day . Donations of good quality books, bric-a-brac and toys will be gratefully received. Contact Linda Jolley on 01502-515628.

We have still got a long way to go with the regeneration of the park; so If you would like to come on board as a member or even join the committee please contact us through this site. We are not asking you to give up your social life, just a few hours now and again and you will be surprised what a difference this makes! You can meet and make new friends and at the same time have your say as to what could happen on the park.

The Family Fun Day in August was opened by Local business man Gary Bennett of Gary Bennett Driving School. It started as a miserable rainy day and we thought it would be a complete washout, but it started to clear about 2pm when a few more people started to appear, on the park.  A lot of fun was had by all who attended and at the end of the day  many people were rewarded with a raffle prize for supporting us, over 40 prizes were won.

We also had many community stalls join us and had a few stalls ourselves eg. raffle,  card game, tombola and white elephant, also on site were First light catering and Dinky Donuts. K-Syl-R  Roadshow kept everyone  entertained as did Andy the Clown and Megan and George comedy act. Lowestoft Together who have funded and supported us were on site promoting themselves and us too.  If you are a local community group who are struggling, don`t be afraid to approach Lowestoft Together as they could be the answer to your problems; you can make contact by using the web; just go to our main page and you will find their website it`s well worth the look.

We as a group would like to thank all our sponsors for kindly supporting our raffle this year. Many thanks also to everyone who volunteered their help on the day as without you we wouldn’t be able to hold an event
