Play Much Hadham is a voluntary group set up to fund-raise and plan the refurbishment of the play equipment on the recreation ground at Much Hadham.  So far we have replaced the swings.  We hope you like them.  This has been possible by the generous support of Hopleys,  Much Hadham Recreation Trust,  Much Hadham Parish Council,  Much Hadham Playgroup and many others. 

Here are the minutes of our recent AGM:
