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

No snow for our Christmas party but lots of smiles and surprises with Tanya's decoration hunt and Tree dressing and great success with the firebowl I am pleased to report! Snowflake pancakes (genius idea from Lucy King: simply snip folded flat tortilla wraps as you would with paper snowflakes and fry in butter and cinammon) and lots of mince pies!
We start again on Thurs Jan 8th with bird feeding in the wildlife area - hope to see you there! Happy New Year everyone!

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!
