Community Spruce update

Thank you to everyone who joined our Community Spruce on Sunday 25 February.  We had a successful morning planting native trees along our boundary with Maberley Road Playing Fields to create a new wildlife hedge.  The crack team of tree planters also filled in gaps in other recently planted hedges.

The trees were provided free of charge by the TCV I Dig Trees campaign and included Downy Birch, Rowan, Dogwood, Dog Rose, Wild Cherry, Crab apple, Hazel, and Elder.

Our volunteers also pruned some of the established hedges, including along the path to the bonfire area and around the communal area in the centre of the site.

At the end we squeezed into the shop to enjoy a well earned cup of tea and cake.

Our next Community Spruce will be at 11-1pm on Sunday 24 March.

Clubhouse Crowdfunder launched!

Today we are launching our fundraiser to continue the refurbishment of the Clubhouse.   So far we have raised nearly £30,000 towards the costs and the builders have started work.   But to make sure the Clubhouse can be a fabulous community space for years to come we need to raise more funds.

The Aviva Community Fund will match any money we raise through our new crowdfunder.  If we raise more than our target we will put the surplus funds towards rebuilding the pond viewing platform in the wildife garden.

I hope you can help us raise funds to by donating here: Clubhouse Crowdfunder
