There is a draft Constitution (revised August 2009) – see below:

Please find attached agenda amended to take account of the AGM (and a few additional items) and amended constitution with proposed amendments in track changes. The changes merely clarify the original constitution which was drafted before most of us moved here.

There is still, however, a big drive to make the park more community-friendly and really one of the hubs of the community, especially amongst the current cuts to parks across the borough. The Friends of Russell Park group meets once every 2-3 months to discuss issues regarding the park. If are passionate about your community in Noel Park and want to see the park flourish and provide fun for as many people as possible, contact the FORP group for more information of how to get involved.
