New Mill Artwork and Plant Sale.


     A double whammy this year for mid May. Today was the day for the new artwork in the mill to be launched. A project sponsored by Kings Charles School in Kidderminster, which took around eighteen months of planning, came to fruition to coincide with our plant sale day. So.....................we decided to celebrate, and the hard working committee contrived to organise a marvelous day in the park. We had the excellent dancing by the the 'Foxs Border Morris Dancers' from Cookley, and a Samba band which goes by the name of  'Someone at the Door'.
The sound and colour of both teams were excellent. A happy time spent with happy people.


Our new artwork


Everyone concerned, from the headmaster, Tim Gulliver to the extremely talented students who took part in the project with such enthusiasm, should be congratulated on a fine job of work.






 
The staff at King Charles should feel proud in being able to encourage youngsters to display their talents in such a positive way.
Their work is a fine addition to Broadwaters Park's wide range of attractions.


The brilliantly colourful artwork takes on a whole new form after dark. The existing colour changing lighting system enhances the new graffiti style installation with a dramatic, flowing colour and tone change.
Quite spectacular!



















The plant sale was a great success. The final figure isn't in yet but the general feeling was that we  had sold many more plants than last year.
