The weather is looking good for Saturday, and we we will finish tidying the pond by the Village Hall car park. It was lovely to have three new people join our working party earlier this month. Two of us actually went into the pond (yes, the LEAP waders are still very waterproof) but on Saturday we will be mainly taking the clippings, and all we heaved out of the pond, to the compost heap.

We will meet at the pond at 10am on 2nd December, and finish at mid-day. We will need wheelbarrows again, if possible. Garden forks and shears would be useful too although we have some spare.

For a trial period in the New Year we are going to change the LEAP working parties to the second Saturday of the month – some people at the Carnival mentioned it was better for them, and those I have spoken to at the working parties said it was not an issue for them.

The weather for this Saturday is looking much better than last week!  As a reminder we are planning to go into the pond by the Village Hall car park. We hope that a few of us can don the waders to pull out as much growth as possible from one end of the pond. There’s plenty of work needed on the sides of the pond for the rest of us.

We’ll meet at 10am on Saturday (11th November) at the Village Hall car park.  We’ll finish at 12 and have a break at around 11 for coffee and biscuits.  It doesn’t look like it will be raining, but please wear wellies for the mud.  If you have a wheelbarrow please bring it to help move the clippings.

Some amazing work was done last month – the Yard Farm to Westland Farm footpath, FP435 is now completely cleared!  Here are some the happy crew at the end of the overgrown path.

This Saturday we are planning to go into the pond by the Village Hall car park.  The weather is not looking promising, so I may have to cancel it at the last minute – please look out for an email from us in the morning.  

We hope that a few of us can don the waders (and they are still waterproof) to pull out as much growth as possible from one end of the pond.  We’ll leave most of the pond untouched for the wildlife.  There’s plenty of work needed on the sides of the pond for the rest of us.

We’ll meet at 10am on Saturday (4th November) at the Village Hall car park.  We’ll finish at 12 and have a break at around 11 for coffee and biscuits.  Please wear waterproofs for the weather and wellies for the mud.  If you have a wheelbarrow please bring it to help move the clippings.
