Council noted an extract from the Henley Standard indicating that Wokingham Borough Council were to build a BMX track in Wargrave using ‘Playbuilder’ money. Following discussion the Clerk was asked to contact Wargrave Parish Clerk and establish the accuracy of the report. The Clerk was also asked to invite Nick Christo to attend the next P C Meeting on 23rd March. Clerks Note: The Clerk at Wargrave confirmed that the Newspaper article is correct.

Track is a good thing,just hope the contractors are track builders not just landscape gardeners/playground installers?

Finally got round to going here yesterday, took the kids over in the afternoon. They loved it.....almost as much as me.
Well worth a visit for the little 'uns and the slightly out of practice 'big uns as well.
