January 2025 Workday
Sadly a low turnout Workday today for the first of 2025, with only 3 volunteers and Park Ranger Alec. However we still managed to clear a huge tree that had fallen across one of the main paths earlier this week. Well done team. [Before and after photos]


Workday dates 2025 announced
We are pleased to announce, in conjunction with Alec, Cardiff Council Park Ranger for Cefn Onn, our dates for 2025 (2-4pm).
If you feel like a volunteering a couple of hours a month this year– we will be delighted to see you. As past and current participants know we are a friendly group aiming to try and restore the Park to its past glories and leave it fit for future generations and you will receive a very warm welcome. We have a wide variety of tasks to suit all abilities, with equipment and tea/coffee provided.
2024 AGM: Monday 20th January 2025
Announcing our 2024 AGM: Monday, 20th January 2025 (a bit late this year!)
Old School Hall, Llwyn-Y-Pia Road, Lisvane: 19:00 – 19:30
The Friends were formed by local Thornhill and Lisvane residents to try and halt the deterioration of our beloved Country Park and bring it back to life.
We will be discussing our achievements and our plans for the year ahead. All are welcome attend (members and non-members), contribute to the discussions, and socialise with other Park users.
Being called an ‘Annual General Meeting’ is a legal requirement for us to continue and sounds very official, but don’t worry, we are very informal. Being an AGM, we must also have a minimum number of members attending, so if you can make it on the evening it would both demonstrate the support the Group has and be greatly appreciated.
Official small print: If you have any nominations for Committee posts (Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Committee Members) or suggested agenda items, please submit these for the attention of the Secretary by email to friendsofcefnonn@talktalk.net.
