Cobbler’s Brook footpath

Thanks to the volunteers who helped at the pond last month.  There’s more to do but that will wait until next month, when the pond wildlife will have settled or left for the winter.

The footpath FP428 (going North from Ockley Road along Cobbler’s Brook) needs cutting back again, to make it passable without being scratched and wide enough to avoid the muddiest bits.  We’ll do that for this month’s activity.  At 10am on Saturday morning (12th October) we’ll meet at Leabrook, Mapledrakes Road and take the short walk to the path; see the map below.  I’ll have the LEAP tools at Leabrook for us, but please take any of your own tools you would like to use.  We’ll bring along some coffee and biscuits.

Jacquetta from the Surrey Climate Commission has asked if any of us would like to attend a webinar on  “Surrey’s Food Systems: How can we move towards healthier people, healthier soils and a healthier planet?“. Click the link for more details.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday,
All the best,
Eddie

LEAP at Sayers Croft Fun Day. Saturday 27th July.

We were lucky with the weather; after a summer of below average temperatures and above average rainfall, it was good to see the sun shining and people wearing tee shirts and shorts. Sayers Croft and St Peter and St Paul Church organise the Fun Day every two years. It does exactly what it says on the tin, it is a fun day of activities and enjoyment of local food and craft outlets. Money is raised for the church, who hold a generous raffle (top prize, a bottle of champagne and £100 in cash). Alas, I didn’t win anything but one little boy scooped three prizes, generously returning his third win to be redrawn.
