December 2016
The Standard drive/ Pitcairn Rd parking
was eroded, rocky and the underneath of cars
was being scraped.
Blairgowrie Primary School offered me
a huge amount of interlocking paving bricks
A very kind contractor offered to donate
half of the costs and to organise the
laying of the paving .
The sub contractor came in and work began.
Donations came in from BCA, CRA and all the users of the park
Definitely-
one man's rubbish is another man's treasure
The bricks were loaded
and brought across the road to the parking
area - what a huge pile!
The team started digging and levelling the ground
The paving bricks went down so quickly
and before Christmas it was done .
What a wonderful way to end the year!
Thank you to everyone involved

John Barrow offered me the use of a TLB to clear and
level the other part of the parking area.
level the other part of the parking area.
The TLB arrived
This huge poplar tree split down the centre and damaged a
few walls and electric fences of houses on the park's perimeter
City Park cleared those branches and
Parkrun cut a path through the branches.
We still have to have the tree cut up and removed-- another big job
That's all folks --
