Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that the next Woodland Management is on Friday 24th March at 10am. We are meeting at Old Kays Park to carry on the maintenance and clearing of some of the ash die-back trees and other areas that require tidying.
Meet in the car park on Holly Mount Lane.
If the weather is unpleasant, I will send out an email early on Friday morning (or before) cancelling the session.
Have a good week,
Alistair

Rifle-ranges-talk-2023Folks,
This coming Friday 17th February we are meeting at Old Kays Park at 10am. Please find details of where to meet attached.
The plan is to do some felling and brash hedge laying and general tidying up.
There is a considerable amount of management required in this park so there will be plenty of jobs for everyone to have a go at.
Hopefully the dreaded Road Closure on Holcombe Road will be a thing of the past, if it isn’t I will email you on Thursday evening.
See you on Friday at 10am,
Have a lovely weekend,
Alistair

With kind regards,
