Community Gathering July 2025 We can't quite believe that this was our fourth Community Gathering! We were so grateful that the weather behaved. After having had a week of extremely high temperatures almost hitting 30, we were concerned that the heat would be too much for everyone or that heavy rain might spoil the event. Plenty of plants and books were exchanged and the children loved having their faces painted and henna tatoos done. New activities this year were Tug-O-War and Splat the Rat, both of which went down a storm. in the quite corner children were able to take part in colouring and painting rocks for Abbey the Adder (to be found at the top of Back Alley. Bike-works were able to provide many residents with a quick service (for free) and the Ice cream man was as busy as usual. We were thrilled that the Fire Brigade were able to take time out to visit us and let the children experience being in their fire engine. With chairs provided by the committee some residents were able to sit and enjoy a fun afternoon while other brought their blankets along with picnics. Thank you to all those who were able to make it an enjoyable time. Our primary aim is to bring the community together. Any monies raised go to funding the Liability Insurance (required by law) to enable this and all the other events organised by the committee.

We are SO incredibly lucky to have been gifted a sapling taken directly from The famous Major Oak. It's now planted and growing nicely on out lovely park. Abbey Parks very own Major Oak Sapling The ceremony to mark the planting of the Major Oak sapling on Abbey Park and to formally ‘welcome’ the fruit trees planted last winter was held 23rd February 2022. Where the Major of Rushcliffe, local schoolchildren and other Abbey Park residents were at the planting. Izi Banton, Estates and Conservation Manager for RSPB Sherwood Forest said: “There are Major Oak saplings which have been planted in locations right around the world, so we know that its offspring will be growing and generating their own acorns and saplings for centuries to come and I am delighted that we have been able to donate this one to a community in our own county, to stand alongside other. Nottinghamshire species which have been so carefully selected for Abbey Park.” The sapling will be a significant addition to the recent planting on Abbey Park. Pupils from Edmund Campion Primary School will be involved in the planting of the Oak, and in the care of the fruit trees, and so encouraged to learn about their positive environmental impact and their Nottinghamshire history. Surrounded by stakes and wire to protect it, it will be nursed along with several other fruit trees, by the children of St Edmund Campion School who have kindly agreed to adopt them. We hope to bring you photographs of them if and when permission is gained, but for now please enjoy some photos of the day and the tree planting. Digging begins Posts setting in - this took some doing! Nearly there Wire fitted for protection Planted! Our delicate little sapling 2022 2024 and its growing beautifully Left to right...
