A last minute celebration picnic took place on the common on sunday 15th, following news about the "racecourse" plans. After three community picnics over four sundays, another, on 22nd August seems a bit OTT. However, their popularity means that regular community picnics on the common may continue fortnightly.

Supporters of http://www.handsoffourcommon.co.uk are celebrating the news about West Common, announced in the Echo on 13.8.10. If the weather is fine, there will be a public picnic on West Common on Sunday 15th August at 3pm. EVERYONE is welcome (it doesn't matter whether or not you were involved in the campaign, you just need to appreciate the common!). Please bring your own picnics and rugs, chairs, kites, frisbees, games ...

All fans of Lincoln West Common are invited to a community picnic on SUNDAY 22nd AUGUST 1PM at CARHOLME GRANDSTAND. The first two picnics attracted crowds of about 80 each time. Musicians are especially welcome again! Please bring your own food etc.
