Two new benches have been placed in the gravel garden area at the front of the Bircham Centre in Reepham Market Place, thanks to a generous donation by Reepham Lions.
Earlier in the year, Reepham Lions approached the Bircham Centre Trustees to see if there was anything they particularly wanted that would enhance the service that the Centre gives to the community in Reepham. The response had been that they would like to offer residents somewhere to sit and watch the comings and goings in the Market Place.
Just in time for the Reepham Food Festival, the new benches were presented to Les West, Chair of the Trustees of the Bircham Centre.
Lions President, Barry Howes, was delighted to make the presentation. “The Bircham Centre is a hugely important resource for Reepham and very much at the heart of the community”, he said. “We’re delighted to donate these benches. People are now able to sit and watch the world go by in our lovely Market Place, catch up with friends or just have a moment of quiet before continuing with their busy day.”
