What’s On

As per previous posts we had a terrible decision to take regarding the horse chestnut tree at the entrance.

This was diseased and after carrying out an x-ray we have deemed that the Horse Chestnut at the entrance unfortunately needs to be felled as it was a health risk

The felling has been done

We now have a significant woodpile £10 per  barrow, £20 per large cross section

In 2017 we have a number of events planned, details to follow:

• Silent Auction 23rd May
