This is what the great swathe of the central area looks like at the moment; already the reeds are beginning to sprout on the area cut a few weeks ago. It doesn't often look like this, but the cutting regime calls for this to happen once every four years.
Here's what Chairman John had to say:
A bold, "Hurrah" I say and congratulations to all who helped bring the 2011-12 cutting season to impressive completion today. We have acheived all that was asked of us and truly shown that a large public amenity can be successfully managed by voluntary effort alone, given the will and the right people. You are all invited to celebrate in style at Welland House on Sunday 29th. April, about which more later.
Regards and best wishes from John
Younger members of the working party celebrated by climbing to the top of one of the piles of cut reeds:
The rest of us celebrated in a more restrained way, with a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie or two. We know how to party!
