ONS features at The Chaddesden Big One and Oakfest
The day after we opened our Hub in the Racecourse Park – the shed team were back at it again , fund raising at the Chaddesden Big One festival and just a few weeks later on July 5th we had out gazebo out again at the Oakfest – our local event. We were spared some of the most scorching temperatures and both events were blessed with some lovely “more typical summer weather
Chaddesden Big one
Our first outing was to Chaddesden Big one – where we had our usual selection of wildlife boxes – earlier on in the week we had supported a Bug Hut making session for the young people of Oakwood at the community centre, here we had our usual wares on display as well as our board where we explained our overall plans for development of the Hub
.
Then just a few weeks later we had the chance to do it all over again at Oakfest, and had a VIP visitor in the shape of our new Mayor Cllr Jonathan Smale. Jonathon was most interested to hear of our plans and the work we have done for the local community – particularly the new “welly waggon” project for Borrow Wood School which is located in his home ward of Spondon.
We are hoping to be able to host the mayor back at our Hub on Racecourse park as we start to move into phase 3 of our project
