Very Young Friends of West Bank Park

Who are the VYFWBP?

We are a friendly community group, run by parents, who meet every Thursday morning in West Bank Park, York. Whatever the weather, school hols included, we spend a couple of hours in the woods and meadows of the Park, doing nature games and crafts, building or making things with materials we find, telling stories and singing songs.

We are open to all - with a contribution of £1 a family (to cover basic equipment) - so if you want to join us, see you on Thursday at 10am at the statue of Queen Victoria, at the top of the Rose Walk. (Bring something simple to share at snack time.)

For more information contact Elly at: westbankparkkids@gmail.com

We have a beautiful record of our fiery February session this week from Young Friend mum and professional photographer, Elly Ross - thank you so much for our treasured photographs Elly. So this week we brought pop up tents (largely ignored) plus popcorn (not ignored at all) and had frosty frolics and lots of fun! We also decided that since we have a bit of money in the kitty we are freezing (!) the usual £1 donation until March. So we are free, as well as frosty! In February. Enough alliteration... already....

The Community Arts Project is finished!

We've drawn, we've etched in clay, we've hung leaf sculptures in nets, we've looked at the park through coloured polythene, we've written down our memories and drawn rude pictures....and a beautiful mosaic has now been made! It has been officially unveiled and will shortly be appearing on the wall of the office block in the Park. You will see much that you recognise and you may even have been one of the team of all ages who helped make the mosaic itself. Well done and thanks to our patient, creative, hardworking artists Mary Passeri and Colin Widdup!
