Woodland Management

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 29th 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 9th 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

D-CaFF celebrate!!

Dear All,

Just to remind you that D-CaFF were awarded the Queen’s Award back in March 2020. Due to the Pandemic, they were unable to celebrate this prestigious award. However, Joani Beale and Laura Roberts did get to visit Buckingham Palace a couple of weeks ago to receive their award and would like to share this with you.

Regards,

Julie Southworth
