Big thanks to Costessey Sports Club for covering the cost of a replacement sign at our Longwater Grounds. The zip-wire seat we reported as missing yesterday was returned overnight under the cover of darkness no doubt. A regular user was so disappointed his father offered to pay for the replacement. Don't forget a new range of equipment including a zip-wire will be ready at Breckland Park soon.

We would be grateful if the person(s) who stole the Longwater Grounds Zip Wire Seat yesterday return it asap!

The new play equipment at Breckland Park is taking shape. The surfacing works will take place next week. After final checks we hope to have the equipment ready to use from early July.
