Easter Egg Hunt
Our first Easter Egg Hunt took place on the same day as Storm Katie descended, causing chaos around the UK. Amazingly, here in Kew, the weather cleared up just in time and the sun actually came out. We had around 35 children participate throughout the morning with their parents, all winning eggs that were kindly donated by Sutcliffe Play, the company that supplied and installed the new playground equipment. Many thanks to Katy Robins, who organised this event and to several other Friends who provided vital help in preparing and running the activity. Here are a couple of pix from the day, plus a video from our Instagram account. (All photographs of children taken in accordance with our Child Protection Policy.)
The final plans for our lovely playgrounds. If you would like to get involved with what is happening at our lovely park, please consider joining Friends of North Sheen Rec. For more pictures of work as it progresses, visit our Facebook page.

Our chair, Sue, spent many hours at the National Archives, researching the local heroes who fought in WW1 and gave their lives. The red dots show where they came from. We hope eventually to make this map interactive.
We organise occasional dog shows and hope to make these more frequent. Here is an enthusiastic entrant at one of the recent events.
Sometimes we catch the most beautiful sunsets at North Sheen Recreation Ground. The colours are complemented by the white mist in the foreground here.
