People who joined in the October 2017-Now period are deemed to have paid for 2018

 

ACTIVITY MORNINGS

We had a successful morning last Saturday although we could have done with a larger turnout (we were 11). We have now cleared five of the 9 glades of bramble and other invasive species as well as building traditional fencing and dead hedges around some of the glades. To complete our immediate programme of work, we need a good turn out for the next two activity mornings which will take place on
Saturday February 10th
Saturday March 3rd

- starting at 10am until 12.30. We all meet at the Temple Fortune Gate at 10am.

Anyone arriving late telephone 07973541264 to find out where we are working n the wood

WALKS

We will be organising another series of walks in the wood once spring arrives. Details will be sent in good time

EVENING MEETINGS

Do not forget the next evening meeting will take place on January 16th starting at 7.30pm in Fellowship House. The speaker who has just completed a survey on lichen in Big Wood will discuss his findings and tell us all about lichens.
