I like Junior wardens because it is fun and i’ve been going for one year now.  I come every week and enjoy doing various activities, working with the police and joining in with the Rowner Carnival.  We also do litter picks at St Mary’s church.  It’s free as well!  Tassie

Hinkler Green in Thornhill is hosting the 2008 Thornhill Festival, a chance for local residents to come together and enjoy a days’ entertainment. Groundwork Solent will be displaying plans for improvements to Thornhill Park and taking residents ideas for environmental projects that could be run in the area.

If you live in Bridgemary or the surrounding areas, why not come along to the second annual carnival procession on the 19th July at 11:30am? Groundwork Solent will be in attendance, consulting residents of all ages to find out what facilities they would like provided for young people in the area. If you have ideas on what youth facilities you would to see in Bridgemary, come along to the Groundwork stand.

For more information on the carnival, have a look at the carnival website
