Good Morning

Our regular Yard Sale will be held on Saturday morning from 9am – noon at the Old School, this time including over 100 jigsaws.  It looks like the weather is going to be very good, don’t forget your sunscreen!

Dear All,

As we are expecting the lock down restrictions to lift later this month, it is time to discuss how we are going to adapt the ‘Cuppa and a Chat’ sessions.

These are going to continue as follows:

• Thursday afternoons from 2 – 4pm
• Still 3 volunteers to run each session (making a brew and chatting with visitors)

Things which will change and require further planning:

• No restriction on numbers so larger room to be arranged
• Tables and chairs will need to be set out and put away on a weekly basis.  Graham Haworth and Nicky have offered to do this every week but we will need a couple of people to cover when they have holidays, for example.
• Invitation open to the whole community, this will mean picking up and dropping off residents who may require a lift
• Once a month we will offer a little more than a chat, some form of entertainment e.g. (The Strummers are happy to play). Even an ‘Afternoon Tea’ is on the cards.

In order to help with the organisation of these sessions we are looking for someone or a team of people who would be willing to work together to do the planning. There are already people willing to give residents a lift to and from the Old School, but this may be something you wish to consider. And of course we have our regular helpers already, but we will need to know how regular you wish to help, weekly, fortnightly, monthly?

If you feel you are able to help in any way please come to a meeting at the Old School on Thursday 15^th July at 4pm, just at the end of the weekly Cuppa and a Chat session. If you are unable to attend but would like to help in some way, then please email me your availability and how you wish to help.

Thank you once again for your help over the last four months, I look forward to seeing you next week. If you know of anyone who would like to be part of this volunteer group then please bring them along.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Good Morning

If anyone is planning on going up on Holcombe Moor or Bull Hill this weekend please note that the MOD will be Live Firing on the Holcombe Hill Training Area between 8am and 4:30pm on both Saturday (10th) and Sunday (11th).

During these times the red flags will be flying and the range area, including the public rights of way across it is strictly OUT OF BOUNDS to the public.

Please help to keep open normal access to this area by respecting these temporary closures.

Stay Safe

Great news!

Another bench has been installed in Greenmount Sidings. This one took just an hour to install and then 15 minutes to drink the coffee kindly provided by The Hub.

This is now the fifth bench that we have recently installed, manufactured by the Bury Greenwood Group and paid for by our ongoing fundraising activities and applications.

The next one to do is the revised backed edition which has not yet been built and will be installed opposite the Pre-School garden near to Station Rd.

Please wear clothing and footwear suitable to the conditions, we will be working off the footpaths and potentially in some muddy areas. All children must be accompanied by an adult.  Work gloves will be useful, but gloves can be provided along with any training required.  Any help that can be provided with this work will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Folks,

It has been a long time coming but we are finally good to go on another Woodland Management session.

We are planning to meet at the Station Road entrance to Greenmount Sidings at 10am on Friday 25^th June.

There will be the usual mixture of tidying up, grass cutting, some tree surgery etc. and we usually aim to finish around 12.30pm. We will be working from Shepherd St all the way up to the Hub entrance to Kirklees Valley.

See you then,

Alistair
