P2C SURGERIES - 18.00 WEDNESDAY 21 and 28 AUGUST; 4, 11 and 18 SEPTEMBER We hope these sessions will prepare candidates for their exam by giving a friendly and encouraging space to discuss the syllabus. Candidates on the Pathway will be given the opportunity to explain their understanding of an aspect of the syllabus and for this to then be the basis of a discussion with other candidates and Chartered Members, acting as mentors. Candidates will be allocated an aspect of the syllabus in advance of a session and will be asked to speak for about 3 minutes, after which the floor will be open for others to question or discuss the subject. Priority will be given to candidates who are sitting their exam in November. Depending on numbers, it is hoped that everyone will be given an opportunity to speak. Book your place here: https://lnkd.in/eXp5xaJH or from next week: https://lnkd.in/esn5mwCm Please note that the £50 ticket fee covers the five sessions.

We had a wonderful trip to the Manchester Sponge Parks on Wednesday - jointly organised with Slow The Flow. We were blessed with brilliant sunshine (not what the weather forecast said!). We had two very informative guides in the form of Catherine Fallon CMLI, who was involved at West Gorton Community Park with BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd) who were the designers with community consultation by Groundwork Greater Manchester, and Chris Kendrick of Civic Engineers, who were involved on Mayfield along with BDP and Studio Egret West. Landscape Institute Yorkshire & Humberside would like to thank them and all the other organisations who supported the event including Studio Egret West Groundwork Greater Manchester Most of all we would like to thank those people who travelled to the event. It was lovely to see you all there. We hope you enjoyed your day and were able to learn from all the information that was shared.

Subsequent to this call out: We would like to thank Studio Egret West and Civic Engineers who worked closely together on the Mayfield Park project, for offering to provide a guide for Mayfield Park. We are pleased that one of their team will be able to join us for the Mayfield section of the visit. We are also pleased to learn that our original guide, Kate Fallon, will now also be able to guide us round the West Gorton Park project - the project she worked on. Please help! Were you involved in Mayfield Park or West Gorton Park developments? Do you know someone who was? LIYHB members will be visiting Manchester’s Sponge Parks this Wednesday (19th June from 2.30pm), but, due to a family issue, our intended guide is unfortunately not able to make it. We will still visit anyway, but would love to have an informed guide, to ensure we don’t miss things! Please get in touch with the LIYHB committee if you can help.
