July 2010 Raised Garden Beds - Blackfriars has received authorisation from Shrewsbury Planning Department to create some Raised Vegetable/Garden Beds in the Meadow (situated along the far boundary, beyond the picnic tables). The Beds will measure approx 12ft x 6ft (a good workable size) with space in between for easy access. It is proposed that each bed could be shared between 2 residents. First option would be given to Apartment Owners, and then to long term Renters. Communal Garden Tools and Watering Cans will be available. If you are interested and require more information on this project, then please contact Blackfriars Garden Committee (Margaret Clitheroe – margaret.clitheroe@btinternet.com)

Meadow - February 2010.
More trees have been planted in the meadow. We hope you made good use of the two Picnic Tables following the 'BBQ' summer. Suggestions for further improvements are always welcome. Whilst Blackfriars operates a no-pets policy it is realised that visitors may bring a dog on the day they visit. They are welcome to exercise their pet in the meadow but please remember that children also play there so please clean up any mess your dog may make. Thank you.
Bike Shed Update – November 2009
The missing padlock from the Bike Shed has now been replaced. Can everyone who uses the Bike Shed facility please take great care with the lock and more importantly ensure they scramble the lock after use.
Bike Shed – September 2009
The extension to the Bike Shed has been completed with room to secure more bikes. If you wish to lock up a bike, then please contact Brian Rennie for details on how to obtain access to the Shed (and also to register your bike for identification purposes).

Buildings/Decorating Update - February 2010. - We plan to decorate the outside of the buildings this summer and touch up the walls in the stairwells where they have been scuffed by traffic. We will let you know the date of the painting as it will be necessary to leave windows ajar to avoid sticking.
June 2009 - A second Picnic Table has now been installed in the field. Please refer to entry March 2009 Newsletter from Directors (Recreation - Field Use) to view terms of use.

Trees
February 2009 - Several saplings of Birch, Rowan and Scots Pine have been planted to enhance the field. A Norway Maple at the rear of Upper Blackfriars, causing frequent and costly removal of it's seedlings from gutters and drains, has been felled and replaced by two Silver Birch. If anyone would like to plant a suitable tree in the field as a token of remembrance, or to recognise an event such as a birth or anniversary, please contact Eddie Clitheroe.
