Swarming for spawning

This gorgeous spring weather has brought the frogs to life in a big way, and Scouts' Pond (off Jubilee Boardwalk) is heaving with them. Quite apart from the sight of hundreds of amorous amphibians, the sound is pretty pleasing too.

Cutting programme completed well ahead of schedule

Hello All
 
Very well done indeed to everybody for such a splendid conclusion to this season’s work.  Despite all the problems, both meteorological and mechanical, we finished in grand style and ahead of time.
I always enthuse about The Common’s appearance at this time of year,  just as the new growth starts to appear, and this morning’s sunshine does justice to the place.  You can feel proud of your contribution to village life which apart from giving pleasure to residents and visitors alike, also has a very real cash value because we know what a contractor would charge to do not such a good job.
The remaining 2 working parties, 16th and 23rd March, are cancelled in favour of ad hoc sessions as the need arises.  I will publish a programme for 2014-15 later in the year. 
 
AGM is Monday 12th May at 7:00pm in the Social Club.  Whilst making it brief and to the point, I nevertheless honour the occasion for what it is and present an annual report.  We have refreshments and would love to see you there, ready to answer questions and suggestions.
 
Thanks again for your dedication and hard work.
Best wishes and regards
John
