The required changes include some technicalities about managing membership and the role of Trustees, and the precise wording of FoRP’s aims. These proposals can be seen on the Management Info part of this website. These changes are at the request of the OSCaR the Scottish charities regulator, in order to allow our application for charitable status to proceed.

We are holding a public meeting on Thursday 30 January at 7.30 pm in the Dove Coffee Lounge, Murrayfield Parish Church, Ormidale Terrace.

We will be giving an update on current and future developments in the park and welcoming ideas and suggestions for areas we could be working on.

We need to approve some amendments to the new constitution in order to fulfil requirements for our application for charitable status therefore the meeting will also include a short EGM. Please note only members will be eligible to vote on this.

We hope you will come along and share your views. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested in the future of the park.

Roseburn Primary School’s bulb-planting efforts on 29 November will add to the ever increasing number of flowers in the park.  Thanks to all the students involved, the school staff and headteacher, and also to John, John, Jan, Emma, Val, Hamish & Jane for digging the holes.

The Fun Day generated about £900 despite the high winds so thanks for everyone who came along and joined-in.  Also, it takes LOTS of volunteers to put it on so special thanks to:

Michael, Gregor, Ann, Jennifer, Angela, Jackie, Jean, Alette, Diane, Andrew, Richard, Duncan, Georgia, May, Graham, Lorna, Don, Ivana, Martin, Carolanne, Stuart, Georgia, Denise, Marie, Aino, Ann-Marie, Anu, Emily, Julia, Patricia, John, Blair, Andy, Saskia, Kristi, Ruby, Emilia, Alix, Julie. (We are REALLY sorry if we missed you out – please tell us).

Member of FoRP?  Please volunteer next time – it really needs this many people.

Thanks, too, to everyone who donated bric-a-brac and prizes, and to the business and organisations that are essential to making it happen:

FoRP thanks the Community Payback Team, the JASS pupils from Roseburn Primary School, and other volunteers for this great improvement to the park entrance.
