Friends of Memorial Park's 50-50 Club May Draw Winners

The May draw of the Friends of Marple Memorial Park 50-50 Club has been made and the lucky winners announced.

To date £1,622 has been awarded in prizes and a similar amount allocated to Park Funds, so this is a great way to support the volunteers who look after our wonderful park.

There is still time to subscribe before the next draw deadline of 30 June, so please read more about how you can support the Friends of the Park and be in with a chance to win a cash prize each month too!

The Last Caretakers of Marple Hall?

In May 2020 I was contacted out of the blue by octogenarian Ann Allan, who has shared information that sheds new light on the story and reveals the identity of the gentleman, and his wife, who were probably the last caretaker and housekeeper of Marple Hall. Here it is in Ann's own words:

Marple Skatepark Phase II to start on site next week!

Friends of Memorial Park are delighted to announce that following this week's easing of Covid-19 restrictions, and after careful consideration by Stockport Council and contractor Canvas Spaces, Marple Skatepark Phase II construction works will start early next week commencing 18 May and last for approximately 6 weeks.
