This time around we need a great deal of support as the Chair, Treasurer and Secretary posts on the committee will be vacant this year and need to be filled or the group can't continue. We will also be asking for one or two more committee members too.
The current Chair, Penny Bowers, will be stepping back after 12 years. Penny would like to spend more time with her main passions connected to the park, which are nature in all its forms and dogs on the park. 
Anyone wanting to join the committee basically its all voluntary and you make of the group what you want.
Date of AGM will be Weds 24 November, 7pm at the Railway Pub on Station Road, Llandaff North.

And what a day it was. Rob the coach was amazing with the kids, of whom we had over 30 from Pencae, Hawthorn and Glan Ceubal schools in total. Cllr Dilwar Ali came over too to join in the fun.

  • postpone the 11.30–1pm National Sporting Heritage Day (#NSHD2021) reception to a date to be confirmed (sadly the Friday forecast looks just as bad)
  • bring forward the ‘open door’ tennis coaching session with Rob Wedlake and Ellie Lewis from Tennis Squad to 3–5pm Wednesday 29 September (tomorrow). ALL WELCOME & FREE

Even though the rain didn't stop play on Hailey Park tennis courts when Pencae Year 3 visited the park, we've hit off with the start to Sporting Heritage week. They were finding out about Claude Hailey and the history of the park then stayed around for a spot of tennis. #NSHD2021 Podcasts
