Today Oakham Town Council met at Lands End European Headquarters in Oakham Rutland.

Lands End loaned the town council a conference room and a super Skype connection, so we could join the naming of a new park in Dodgeville.

Oakham is twinned with the city of Dodgeville. Lands Ends Corporate Headquarters are based in Dodgeville.
They provided the equipment in Dodgeville's newly named park, I was impressed with how easy it was to communicate with the people of Dodgeville with no loss of connection even though the American end was using wireless internet in the middle of the park.

I hope it was not to scary for the people of Dodgeville seeing Cllr Brookes Live on the screen in their park!
I understand a photograph of us all is on its way to the City Council offices.

I did feel rather guilty enjoying the hospitality of Lands End whilst all those people stood outside in the wind.

Oakham Lawn Park Est 2010

Oakham Lawn Park - 800 N. Union Street
Oakham Lawn Park is Dodgeville's newest park established in 2010. It designates the twinned cities of Oakham, England, UK and Dodgeville, Wisconsin, USA.
The property is located by the old general hospital and was donated to the city by Mary Kelly. The Oakham Lawn Park sign shows the emblem of a horseshoe, which is a traditional symbol of Oakham, UK. On the back, the sign mentions the family of Mary Kelly, who donated the property for Oakham Lawn.

Dodgeville is planning on two additional pocket parks to enhance the community.
