Your park needs you.

Selly Oak Park needs your help. We currently have two vacancies on the FoSOP committee. This involves about 7 meetings a year, delivering leaflets (about twice a year) and helping at the the Selly Oak Festival (30th June 2012). If you would like to become a committee member contact chair @ friendsofsellyoakpark.org.uk. We would also value casual help with any of the following. Delivering leaflets, Stewarding at Selly Oak Festival, Conservation work in park - again contact us at the e-mail above.
