Budock Water Playing Field Committee has been busy fundraising, to enable the existing climbing frame, which was donated back in 1964, to be replaced with a new one designed for 4 to 9 year old's, complying with the latest safety legislation.
A grant from Cory Environmental Trust, supported by a number of donations, has enabled an order to be placed with Taylor Made Equipment Ltd of St Mawgan, for a "Mini Play Unit" and safety surface.
It is hoped that the equipment will be installed by late Summer 2007.
The Playing Field Committee and the Parish Council wish to thank everyone who has helped with fundraising activities. Hopefully, the new equipment will last for many years, and provide many enjoyable hours for the younger children in the community.
