Recreation Ground - Play Area Project

I met with Peter Underwood (NHDC) this morning and he was very impressed and delighted on the progress to date.
Regarding the opening event, he suggested Aug/Sept, as gives time for us all to arrange a suitable date and for him to prepare the NHDC plaque.
As for who is going to declare the site officially open & what we are to lay on refreshment wise needs some more thought. NHDC need to know 'who' ref wording on plaque, and they seem keen to cut the ribbon as gave most of the funding. We can't forget WREN so needs discussing at our need meeting.
Once the project is complete I believe we need to sent invoices to NHDC & they in turn will release the outstanding grant money. Janet can you confirm ref NHDC letter(s) please.

I've done a small write up for July Parish Mag and Peter would like a copy so to possibly add in Herts Mag and even the Comet Newspaper. If you would like to view, please let me know.

With the refurb' of Baldock/Hitchin/Letchworth Peter mentioned the possibility of us having some of the benches for the play area. They are wooden with metal ends. He phoned Stewart Izzard and if we wanted them they would be available in the Autumn. Is this something we would be interested in ? For now have reserved 2. NHDC delivery charge is £50 or we can collect ourselves.

Peter was also impressed with the pavilion and enquired as to the supplier & costs etc. Apparently NHDC are funding a Cricket Club project else where.
Alistair would you mind giving me some details please. Many thanks.

Workman back on site this afternoon. Will venture down to talk about Flower Meadow, Safer Grass and Footpath.

Watch this space ;o)
