(Jo) Josephine Taylor 20th March 1931 to 30 April 2013

We are very sad to tell you that Jo Taylor has died.
She was a very valued member of the committee, always smiling, ever willing to help with events and opening the park during the summer!  We will all miss her very much.  The Friends are planning to dedicate a bench in the park to her memory, which will be very fitting as she loved watching birds and enjoying the open air.

Another Great Tea in The Park! - 28th April 2013

The Friends of Cottenham Park's annual spring tea party was another great success with a record turnout of around 150 people this year - despite it being a little chilly!
The rain held off for us though, and we had a very enjoyable afternoon with a variety of interesting stalls, fun and games for the children and some fine music.  Most importantly, it provided the perfect opportunity for everyone to meet others in the community over a good cup of tea and a slice of cake!  
The Friend's also gained nine new members - so a warm welcome to all of you!
Thank you to everyone who turned up and gave their time and generous donations of cakes, plants, bottles and prizes for the stalls. Huge thanks also goes to local businesses; Nicholas and Steele, Absolute Organics, Garden Sage and Forest Bailiff , who all donated generous prizes for our raffle. The day has raised valuable funds for the ongoing upkeep and improvement of our park.
