Frickley Park - Summer 2024

Frickley Park

This Summer, we have, with the landowner's kind permission, been building a new feature at Frickley Park in commemoration of our former chairman and treasurer Dave Brookes, who had a long association with Frickley.  When completed, the feature will incorporate a semicircular wall between two pillars, and have a seat in the middle.

Good progress is being made, and we hope to complete the project in late August.

The branch are now well into our 2024 training course programme.

Courses have been run from April.  The weather for the courses has generally been favourable, and we have had hard-working and enthusiastic trainees, and who have given positive feedback.

The new venue, also in Hoylandswaine, has been well-liked both by trainees and instructors.
