A Time to Remember

Probably the most important event I attended in November was the Remembrance Service in St Mary's.  I found it quite moving in that it was actually on the 11th, and also very privileged to be there.

As well as regular committee meetings - Council, Poverty PDC which looks at how to tackle financial hardship, HCDT Board who run the Phoenix Centre, amongst others - this month included a special one to discuss issues around parking across the city, with the starting point broadly being 'too many cars and not enough spaces' (nothing new there!).  Some good suggestions came out of it, which are to be further investigated, and will definitely help if they can be put in place.

But the main focus of the month was certainly the Friends of group, with a committee meeting, the AGM, and having a very successful stall at the Green Fayre.  Thanks to a good core of volunteers the picnic area around the pond, just down the Black Road from Creidiol in Mayhill, has improved no end, and the community food garden keeps 'growing' with more to come.  If you get the chance do go and have a look, and you can follow it's progress on the Facebook page, Friends of Mayhill Washing Lake and Community Food Garden.
