PACKERS FIELD PICNIC AND GAMES EVENING
Thursday 17th August from 7pm
A fond farewell to Packers
Field as we know it…..ALL WELCOME!!!
Construction work on Packers
Field is due to start on Friday 18th August, marking the
end of many generations of free, open access to the site
by the local community. Before the fences go up and the
public are kicked off, we would like the community to have
one last chance to enjoy it as they always have- for fun,
for recreation, for socialising… and for free!!! Many
people have used and loved this green space over the years,
if you are one of them please come along and enjoy yourself.
The picnic will start from 7pm (strictly bring your own),
and will be a chance to relive old times, meet like-minded
people, and also discuss your thoughts and fears about the
development. The pro-Packers campaign will not die when
the fences go up, and there is still an opportunity to influence
the future of the site (see below).
In addition to the picnic, we would like to see as much
informal recreation on the field as possible. Please bring
a bat, a ball, a book or a banjo, and remember why we need
free, open access to places like Packers. Adults and children
all welcome. Hope to see you there!
