Ward Outing

Bournemouth Ward

Saturday 29th June:  Helping Hands Day

Another bright sunny day welcomed the willing hands from Poole, Christchurch and Bournemouth Wards as they met in Boscombe Chine to help tidy it up so that Bournemouth Town Council would once again win the coveted prize, Bournemouth in Bloom.  

The helpers had been asked to wash and sand the benches, pick up litter and clean up the children's play area and generally tidy the place up. The play area had a fountain in it and as it was such a hot day there were lots of people looking after it, working very hard by polishing it and sharing the water with friends by splashing it around.

The brass plates on some of the benches were scrubbed and made nice and shiny and posts got the same treatment.

There were about100 people there and by the time they had finished the Chine was ready for inspection.

Becky Fox had been made the official photographer for the day and took plenty of photos of people working hard, or in some cases, not working at all, but smiling happily anyway.

I was informed that there were bat boxes in the trees put there by the council to encourage wildlife, namely bats. We weren't, however, asked to tidy the bat homes which was probably a wise decision.

All in all, it was a good three hours work and we are hoping that the town Council will be suitably impressed!

Present were: Rachel, Jake and Amy Grant: Mike, Kirsty, Ellie, Caitlin and Callum Winkworth: Becky, Stewart and Jensen Fox: Suzanne and Simon Kenchington; Louise Hamilton; Judith and Ella Cooper the Bournemouth Ward missionaries, Elder Chacon and Elder McCook, and Mary Hathaway. This happy band of workers went home to a well-earned rest!
