Sponsors
In 2012 we are providing a free summer bandstand programme and four major events. Each year the costs of fulfilling this ambitious programme become greater.We have been unsuccessful in various grant applications but sponsors, both national and local have come to our aid.
This year The Yorkshire and Clydesdale Bank have donated £400 while Barclays Bank will be involved in our Autumn Fair. We are also indebted to the Local Businesses, detailed on the sponsors page. Thanks!!
Extra Seating
Six new benches are to be placed around the bandstand giving extra seating for the concerts and events. The costs have been shared between Friends of Ropner Park and Stockton Council.
Newsletter
Friends of Ropner Park produce two newsletters each year.The spring 2012 newsletter has been sent to members and is now available online
Our next event will be on June 3rd. celebrating the Queen`s Diamond Jubilee. See the events page for details.
The Olympics are coming
The Torch Relay will be passing the main entrance of Ropner Park in Hartburn Lane shortly after 5.30 on Sunday 17th. June.
Friends of Ropner Park have booked South Bank Brass Band to play at the gates as the torch passes. Should be fun and unique.
Floral Displays
The floral displays in Ropner Park this year will feature an "Olympic" theme sporting the official colours pink, yellow, purple and green. Over 34,000 plants will decorate the park and instead of butterflies flying among the flower beds, we`ll have colourful glorious athletes.
