Hi Folks,

In discussion with Paul Robinson, we are proposing that the last Woodland Management event of the year will be on Friday 9^th December.

We will be clearing the leaves and other debris off the Lines from Brandlesholme Road down towards the Island Lodge Viaduct. If it is raining, please still come along as most of the work is under dense cover of vegetation and in the past, we have not got too wet.

If you wish to join us, please meet at Station Road entrance at 10am on Friday 9^th December. Directions are attached.

Hopefully we will finish in time to enjoy a celebratory coffee from the Hub Café.

All the best,

Alistair

Advent Windows, do you want to participate?

For the last two years Greenmount has lit Advent windows and it is planned to do this again with even more people joining in.

The switch on will be on the 1st December.

Please think of joining us. When you have decided on your design, please let Neil know by email [email protected]  It is hoped to have a map showing where the windows are.

If your garden is decorated, please let Neil know that too

Thousands of pounds are raised for good causes, and we are delighted that Greenmount is firmly on the sporting map as Bury shows itself off to hundreds of visitors on the day of the festival.

John and I were delighted to visit the Tottington Co-op store on Saturday, to be presented with funding for GVC of over £3,000.  This money will go towards our ongoing project to develop rest areas and seating on The Lines.

We were made very welcome are very grateful to the #itswhatwedo scheme, run locally by Eleanor, the Co-op Member Pioneer for Tottington and Holcombe Brook.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our campaign and signed up to donate to the cause.  Our fundraising to support projects in our local community continues. If you are a Co-op shopper, please sign up to automatically donate to the vast array of causes supported by the group in our area.
