Dear All,

Please take note that the Drop In / Table Top Sale at Greenmount Old School will be this coming Saturday 30^th July, and not on the first Saturday in August, due to the work starting on a new kitchen in August / September.

Open to the public 9am – Noon with the usual stalls and refreshments.

Set up is taking place today, Friday 29th as the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers are not meeting during the Summer. If you are available at one of these times on Friday 29th your help would be much appreciated.

• From 10am Friday 29th set up all the rooms except the hall   

• From 3.15pm Friday 29th (after the Line Dancing) set up the hall 

On Saturday 30th July the Drop In / Table Top Sale will start at 9 am. Help will be needed to clear away from 12 noon.

Many thanks – any help you can give is much appreciated.

Hi Folks,

Just a reminder that the next Woodland Management is this Friday 29^th July meeting at 10am.

We will be working in Kingsbury Wood as we have not been then in many months, if not years. Attached is a map of where we meet on Garside Hey Road, just before you get to the housing development.

I look forward to seeing you there on Friday,

Cheers,

Alistair

Dear All,

The first meeting is this Thursday, 21^st July when Cuppa and Chat will be visited by PACT North Manor from 2.30pm at Greenmount Old School.

Also, Tuesday 2^nd August from 1.30pm till 3.30pm at Greenmount Old School (details attached).

I hope you can take the opportunity to attend one of these meetings and are able to air your concerns about local issues and get information about crime trends and crime prevention advice.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear Woodland Management Folk,

This is an event going on in Redisher Wood that may not have come to your attention and you may be available and wish to assist Paul and his Redisher Wood team.

The vehicle bridge is at the bottom of the slope when you enter Redisher Wood from Redisher Lane.

Have a lovely weekend,

Alistair

Hi Everyone,

What a wonderful turn out we had today to tidy up Greenmount Sidings. The group was so large that the task was finished before 11.30am and so we could spend time enjoying a coffee before the heavens deluged upon us.

My thanks go to the 6 new people who joined us and it means we have had a lot of interest shown in the Woodland Management group as a result of the Exhibition held in the Old School last weekend.

Thank you all once again, it makes Paul Robinson and my task so much easier when there are many hands on site.

Just as a reminder we have two sessions planned in the diary, which are:

• Friday 29^th July meeting at 10am to work in Kingsbury Wood. We meet on the road leading into the housing estate at the end of Garside Hey Road (a map will be available nearer the time)
• Friday 9^th September at 10am on Kirklees Street near Tottington Station (a map will be available nearer the time).

I hope you can come and join us.

All the best,

Alistair Waddell
