Running Stafford Orchard

Stafford Orchard is owned by the Parish Council, but it is run by the community, many of whom are volunteers. These are vital to the successful operation and development of the park and the the park cannot function without them - see our Volunteers section.

Stafford Orchard Advisory Group

The Stafford Orchard Advisory Group (SOAG) carry out an advisory role in making recommendations to the main decision-making body, the Parish Council Grounds and Facilities Committee. This committee is responsible for ensuring that maintenance schedules are in place and that the park is providing what people want, and also takes the lead in representing community views and developing the park further. The Committee is keen to encourage people to hold community events on the park, such as concerts, celebrations etc.

The SOAG is made up of volunteers from within the village and some Parish Councillors. If you feel that you could consider becoming a member of the advisory group, please contact Quorn Parish Council for more details. Meetings are informal and are held once every two months. The most important qualities for a member are enthusiasm and an ability to get things done.
