Getting involved

We all lead busy lives. Getting involved is not meant to be an
onerous task! This is what you can do:

- Sign up for updates
We write posts when we feel that we have something directly relevant
to say to the residents of Foresthall Park. We do not want to fill up
your inboxes so you can probably expect no more that one or two posts
a week. The success of our group depends on it being representative
of the residents. If we act with one voice then we are more likely to
be listened to by the local and district councils. The website is a
useful forum where members can post comments and voice concerns. Down
the line, if we get a good number of followers, it could potentially
help us become self financing as we may be able to raise enough
revenue through advertising/sponsorship.

- Participate in meetings/events
We plan on holding general meetings twice a year with Committee
members elected each year. We will publicise these meetings in
advance and these will be perfect occasions to meet some of your
neighbours. We also invite local parish and district councillors to
these meetings so these are good opportunities to have your say and
raise concerns with the local decision makers. We also plan on
organising some events. Last year we organised a litter pick and
we’ll do so again this year. We also hope to start organising some
more social events in the near future.

  1. Hi,
    At the general meeting it was mentioned about organising some social events. I thought about a quiz night. These are always very popular and a great way to get people together.

  2. Lorraine – I think this is a good suggestion and I know that there are confirmed quiz fans in our group. I also have some other ideas and hope to be able to get some social events going shortly. Watch this space.

  3. What about organising some 5 a side football at the Romeera once a week in the evenings for anyone who is interested?

  4. Another good idea. I’m happy for people to use this page to make suggestions and try to connect with other residents who may have similar interests. We’ll discuss these ideas at our next committee meeting so, referring to your other post, if you are able to make it then that would be great.
