    Greetings
    There was a vote of thanks at October’s monthly meeting to the Queen’s Park Day organising team for all of their hard work delivering another hugely popular event, attended this year by over 13,000 people. Queen’s Park Day provided a fantastic opportunity for the local community to get together and for voluntary organisations to get their message over. Many of the stall-holders sent lovely messages of support and thanks after the event. Queen’s Park Day could not take place without the dedication of the park staff – huge thanks to them too. Next year’s QPD will be on 18th September.

    See our Gallery for a selection of photos from QPD 2015. Thanks to everyone for tweeting photos and comments using the hashtag #qpd15.
