Very Young Friends of West Bank Park: New management!

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

New management!

It is with a bit of a tear in my eye that I tell you that it's time for me (Cath) to move on from leading this group! I have gone and got a job that doesn't permit me to take Thursdays off any more. But never fear as the group is mightily strong and a whole new team of people is going to help take over. As for this blog - well, I've never been very reliable at keeping it up-to-date! - so may I introduce our new blogmeister (meistress?) Vicki.

So you can look forward to lots more news of our doings, photographs of happy muddy children, and maybe - who knows? - the group will be part of the growing online community of those chipping away, ever so subtly, ever so practically, at Mr Gove's vision for toddlers in classrooms being tested on their triangles. That would be a fine thing.

For now - I'm over and out - welcome Vicki!

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!
