Ford Park Cemetery Trust Newsletter 2022
Welcome to the latest newsletter from Ford Park. What a busy year we have had, it was good to get back to some sort of normality. The year started with the ever popular Soup & Sweet Lunch, and the Visitor Centre was full. If you intend to come this year (it’s on 18th March) buy your ticket early. The year continued with the usual assortment of walks, talks, fairs, exhibitions, and concerts which all helped to raise much needed funds. New ventures included an exhibition and sale of work by local watercolourists in April, with Ford Park receiving commission on the sales, and in May the Centre was used as a polling station. Both these events raised our profile and attracted people who had not visited the cemetery before. Sale of Christmas wreaths raised over £3000 this year, thanks to Maggie and her intrepid band of volunteers. The office can take orders, and, if you do not live locally, we can place a wreath on a loved one’s grave for you.
