2022 - the year after the pandemic Like many community groups 2022 was the year we were able to get back to something like normal. CoCoMAD came back and lots of our regular activity sessions could settle back to their usual routine, offering opportunities for improving our community's physical and mental wellbeing. As a result of the pandemic even more people had got the'going to the park" habit and Cotteridge Park and its volunteers were ready to welcome them. 2022- THE YEAR AFfER THE PANDEMIC

CoCoMAD and other events in 2022 li After the enforced 2 year break our wonderful free community festival was back in 2022. It rained quite a bit but that didn't put off the volunteers, the performers or the visitors. Everyone was so pleased to be back together, after the pandemic, with their friends, family and neighbours. CoCoMAD 2022 had music, arts, woodland activities, science, dance, great food and lots of community stalls. 2022 also saw the return of our outdoor cinema and the solstice carols COCOMAD Images frorn Thorsten Schnler
