OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and alms
To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Parklands and the surrounding area without distinction of
sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary
organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to provide facilities for recreation and leisure-time.
To establlsh or to secure the establishment of a Community Centre and lo maintain and manage or to
co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for
activilies promoted by the Association and its constituent bodies in furtherance of the above objects.
The Association shall be non-party in polictics and non-sectarian in religion.
Slgnlllcant actlvltles
To offer appropriate play. education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours, 9roups,
together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activilies of
such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all the children whatever their race,
culture. religion. means or ability.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
We currently have 16 groups meeting regularly at the Centre, some not for profit community groups
plus commercial hires. There are also private hires throughout the year.
Events organised by the committee during the year were an Elvis Tribute Act, Mini Afternoon Children's
Disco, Picnic In The Park, children's activities, Buddy Holly Tribute Act, and a Christmas Family
Pantomime. The costs of the tickets for the panlomime had to be increased as the Grant thal was used
to subsidise this has now ended. The events were well supported by a loyal core of residents. Thoughts
are to be given to offer new events to try and attract more attendees.
The Picnic In The Park was well supported, this year musical entertainrnenl was provided by various
soloists, groups and singers. Thanks to Stephen and Andrew from the God In Us Church for their
invaluable help wilh the sound system.
The Community Coffee Mornings run by the committee. where people can get together for a chat and
a cuppa. have proved to be a huge success, with up to 30 or 40 people attending each month.
Voluntary donations made through the year are given to local charities, nominated by the attendees.
The communty quizzes which have been running for over 30 years no longer take place. Roger retired
and unfortunately there was no-one to take over. Thanks were given to Roger and previous quizmasters,
Robin Ward, John FO￿eS and Paul Boniface. Bingo nights still take place bi-monthly. With a new team
in pla￿.

not function as well as it does. Many thanks go lo Vikkie Maloney, Park Ranger, has assisted us wth
