Friends of Hetton Bogs

The Friends Group started in February 2009 and is properly constituted with elected officers and committee. The site which is the focus of our interests includes the formal Hetton Park, containing a childrens play area, bowling green and games courts, together with Hetton Bogs, a recognised nature reserve.
Our annual subscriptions are £2 (waged) and £1 (unwaged). During our first year of operation we attracted 58 members and will strive to increase that number in the future.
At the open Annual General Meeting held earlier this month a number of proposals were agreed and the newly elected committe will attempt to make progress on these matters. We hope to play a bigger role in the Hetton Festival in July, seek funding towards the development of the site and improve the profile and use of the area particularly amongst the local community.
