Greenspace Celebration 2nd December 2009	The Council Annual Parks and Greenspace celebration event will be held on the evening of Wednesday 2nd December. Your Friends group will be receiving a formal invite in the next week, but I just wanted to make sure you get the date in your diary. This year the event is being combined with the awards ceremony for the Shot in Park photo competition and the Edinburgh in Bloom garden competition. We would like all the Friends of Parks groups to put together some photos and a few paragraphs of text highlighting what you have done this year. This will be displayed on the night, so it may be helpful to add contact details in case another group wants further information about anything you have done. Ideally it would be great if you could send me the information prior to the event, so I can put the display together.	Park Survey
