Workday 13th April 2025

On Sunday 13 April, our volunteers turned out in force to nurture Conway Rec. It was especially good to be joined by a good number of keen young people. 

Together, we: 

  • washed and polished the mosaic;
  • ⁠finished pruning the rampant cornus in the protected area behind the pond;
  • ⁠planted a fine new shrub;
  • ⁠trimmed the hedge alongside the path linking Conway and Cannon Roads (known as ‘Pen Row’).
  • ⁠tidied the wilder space behind court 5 (‘The Dell’);
  • ⁠mowed overgrown grass patches and edges while protecting wild flowers;
  • ⁠picked litter and swept paths;
  • ⁠watered the new wild flower patch;
  • ⁠barrowed and carried green waste to compost corner and our collection point; and
  • ⁠cleaned and tidied our equipment shed

We also managed to squeeze in a collective sit-down for hot drinks, cakes and a catch-up. 

Altogether a most productive day helped by decent Spring weather.  Thanks, Reccers, as ever you worked your socks off and made a difference!
