The Friends of Selly Oak Park organised a successful Selly Oak Festival on Saturday, coinciding with the visit of the Fair to the park.One of the attractions included a demonstration of woodcarving. On display was the pillar to the right, which will eventually be a permanent feature in the park. This and other carvings, many using wood from trees in the park itself, will introduced as part of a planned nature trail.
It was an opportunity for local groups to raise money (the Tiverton School PTA ran a tombola and the Ariel Scout Group ran a book stall. But there was also plenty to do, with a football tournament for 8-11 year olds and the chance to make and fire paper rockets with compressed air. Entertainment also included juggling and a String Quintet!
The football tournament (won by a team from St Mary's Boys Brigade) was refereed by my fellow Selly Oak Ward councillor Dave Radcliffe (pictured below).
