The builders are starting work on the Hub Terrace on Friday 18th November, putting a weather-proof covering over the existing wooden structure. This means that the terrace will soon be a dry place to sit and enjoy food and drink from the Cafe. It also means that dog walkers will now not have to feel excluded from the Hub and can enjoy sitting on our dry terrace with their dogs.
It should be ready in a couple of weeks, weather permitting!

You can now pick up your 2017 Lordship Rec Hub calendar from the Hub (£6 for 1 or £20 for 4) or your Lordship Rec Hub greetings cards (£1.50 each or cheaper in packs). All the photos are taken by Rec users and all the proceeds go to support the Hub.

EXPLORE THE PARK, FIND THE MARKERS, COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE, HAVE FUN TOGETHER
Xplorer is the perfect outdoor activity for primary and pre-school children and their families. It is a family friendly navigation challenge that is educational and fun and gives children a sense of adventure as they explore the park to find the markers. It involves a healthy mix of physical activity and decision making that the whole family can enjoy together. Using a simple map the aim is to find a number of markers that are located around the park. At each marker children need to identify what is pictured and enjoy learning a fun fact to tell their friends. Older children will have fun competing against their friends or other family members whilst younger children will enjoy the excitement of successfully finding the markers.
No experience of map reading is necessary and parents are encouraged to join in the fun!
Have fun together – Go Xplore!
