Wiltshire Council informed Warminster Town

Council that as of April 2018 they will not

be carrying out major repairs to any play

areas, however, they will continue to inspect

the areas to ensure they are safe but will

close equipment if unsafe.

Warminster Town Council already maintains

the Lake Pleasure Grounds (Warminster

Town Park) play area, and we now have the

opportunity to take on the maintenance of

9 additional play areas around the town.

The launch of 8 weeks of community

engagement will be at a public meeting on

Monday 2nd July 2018

7.00 p.m.

Warminster Civic Centre,

Sambourne Road, Warminster, BA12 8LB.

Party In The Park For All ~ Warminster

Party In The Park For All

The Lake Pleasure Grounds (Town Park),

Weymouth Street, Warminster

Saturday 23rd June 2018

11.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.

This is a joint event for our three Syrian

resettlement families and the volunteers

who have worked with them, the Muslim

Community who have helped and everyone

who is interested. It is going to be a brilliant

shared activity "for all!"

There will be food, a cake stall, henna art,

candle art, horse and carriage rides, etc.

Come and be part of this event and meet

lots of people you don't normally see.

Could you please bring a plate of food to

share and/or a cake to sell.

Money donations to Warminster & District Foodbank

and The Friends Of Warminster Hospital.

Any questions to Tony Berridge or Tim Spinney.

Telephone 01985 214441.

Please see the full details in the June issue

of the St. Denys' Church magazine:

We expect you will know that Warminster has

resettled three Syrian families over the last year.

Most of this has been done on a volunteer

basis from Christian, Muslim and non faith

backgrounds, with Council support.

This party is to celebrate these families'

arrival and initial settlement here.

It is a chance for them to meet all those who

have been involved and collectively have some

fun. It is also a time for those interested in what

has happened to find out more.

Come along and be part of this event.

There is no charge for entry to the event itself.

There will be food* and Syrian food tasters.

Also there will be various stalls from

henna and candle art to cakes, horse and

carriage rides, and the whole park to play in.

There will be Clergy from various Churches

and Trowbridge Mosque in attendance

together with the Police Community Unit.

The only cost is whatever you wish to buy.

Otherwise all we are asking is for a donation.

At the end of the event the donations collected

will be divided equally between two local

charities who have helped the families.

These are the Warminster & District Foodbank

and the Friends of Warminster Hospital.

Do come along and see what it is all about.

It is very much a time for children.

We hope there will be good weather and

we all look forward to seeing you there.

Tony and Tim.

* P.S. Since writing this, we have been very

excited by the positive response and potential

take up. Because we have no final idea how

many people are coming, and we hope it is

lots, we are having to change how we arrange

lunch. We are now asking those coming if

they would be kind enough to bring a plate of

food with them which can be shared.

To overcome any possible problems with

things being Halal may I suggest you bring

vegetarian items please. The idea is to have a

sort of bring and share buffet picnic!

All we need now is brilliant weather

and you to come along!
