September Update

The  Asda sponsorship plaque is now in place in the leisure centre bed. The sleeper beds at lowtown are well on their way to being completed. We almost were an outright winner in the Asda green token collection, but in the end were beaten by Rodley Nature Reserve, none the less we bagged ourselves £50 for entering! We are now in possession of a bowser and are trying out a watering schedule to see how it will work, unfortunately we have been asked by LCC to water the trickiest areas, mainly the troughs at the main traffic lights in the town centre! Work still continues by our tidy Tuesday group, don`t forget our AGM in October, and I dare I say it will soon be time to plan for the autumn/spring planting of the troughs!

Article in the Winter Edition of the P&DCS.

There is an interesting write-up on the history of Job Ross and his tripe business in the latest edition of the Pudsey Civic Society magazine. What they have omitted to say is that without our Maureen, the tripe baths would no longer be with us!!

Helpers from Southroyd School

Recently we had some welcome helpers from Southroyd School holiday club. We all had a lovely morning and the children left just before the rain started. They were enthusiastic and fun to work with as well as being very well behaved. They worked with us in Sparrow Park and helped with weeding, deadheading and bulb planting. We hope to have their help again in the October half-term.

SouthRoyd School Gala

Thanks to everyone who helped raise £21.50 for our funds at the weekend by taking part in our `Name the gnome` competition. We are pleased to say that the gnome has now found a home! The winning name was Humphrey and he was taken home by a happy Southroyd pupil, whose grandma promised to help look after him :-)

Looking forward to......

......our first group outing to Newby Hall on 21st July, hope the sun keeps shining!

And just to show that it`s not all work, work, work!!

Time for a welcome cuppa:

Money well spent, and thanks to Asda.

Sandra Deakin from Asda came to see the finished work on the leisure centre bed that has been made possible by money donated through Asda sponsorship. We took the opportunity for a photo shoot. A plaque will soon be in place to acknowledge the support of Asda with this fantastic project.
