STOP PRESS Mid June'09 - There's another letter in The Reminder.
STOP PRESS Early June'09 - BIDS support The Play Area Project with £15,000 We've managed to raise a whopping
£126,900.73 so far. But sadly, this is not enough by any means. There is going to be a play area come what may, and it
will be in the ground by the end of March 2010 (or we lose some of the funding and the whole project collapses). Rachel
Graham, at Keswick Area Partnership, has been beavering away and without her we would not have managed to get this
far. But folks, we need more funds. Please, please think about the enjoyment that your kids will get from what is going
to be probably the best play area in Cumbria. If that's not worth £50 then I don't know what is. If we have £150,000 then
that is what we'll go with and the play area will either have fewer items or we'll have to substitute expensive equipment
with cheaper alternatives. But if we have £200,000 then we will be able to have the best, most exciting, all inclusive
play area that you have been to for a very long time (if ever). 'Don't delay - donate today.'
STOP PRESS End Mar '09 - Following on from the excellent article in The Reminder we have been asked to give an
indicator to families about how much a worthwhile donation would be. Firstly, ANY donation is appreciated no how
BIG or small. Unfortunately these play areas don't come cheap. But to put things in context it will take 50 family
donations of £25 per family to buy a 2 seater baby swing. It will take 45 donations of £30 to buy a single
seat springer or 60 donations of £50 to buy a fantastic Pod swing. When you consider the savings you'll
make not having to drive
to other play areas,
not to mention the fun Fun FUN that your children and
grandchildren will have, then surely
that has got to be worth something? To make a donation
please e mail Rachel Graham at The Keswick Area Partnership for further details.
Or call her on 017687 74144
STOP PRESS Mid Mar '09 - We have Phase 1 approval for National Lottery funding! This is absolutely fantastic

know.
