Good turnout for the Millennium Green AGM

THE GLENFIELD Millennium Green Annual General meeting took place on 10th February and it was great to see so many people there.

At the meeting the Chair read out his yearly report, followed by the treasurer, gardener and finally me with fundraising update. We had two trustees step down and two step up.

As you may know, the Glenfield Millennium Green trust is run by local people for local people. There is no council money towards running costs which means the trust always has to raise funds and ask for voluntary labour to improve and maintain the area.

How can you help?

By the time you read this article we may have already had our next meeting which was on 6th March at Morrisons‘ Community Room.

These meetings are held regularly to share ideas to help raise funds to keep this amazing space in our community.

Please come along to our next meeting (date available soon).

If you can’t make a meeting then come along to one of our events at The Green: please see our website and Facebook page for more details of these. Tell your neighbours, friends, family about our events & encourage them to come along too.

What are our plans for this year?

WE HOPE to repeat the events that we did last year, and add a few more. Look out for further details of the Easter Hunt coming soon, followed by the Yard Sale (or table top sale at The Green) May Time, Summer Picnic on The Green, Spooky Trail at Halloween then the year‘s finale: Carols on Green

We also have our ‘gardening group’ continuing to meet regularly throughout the year looking after the green. Dates for this will be available soon. For more information on the Millennium Green, & for further details of our events please check out our website & Facebook page.

Finally, thank you so much to all the trustees & volunteers for giving up your time to keep this green space a safe place for local people to enjoy throughout the year.
