I have now received confirmation from SWT that we can start work on the permissive route behind The Green and the route from the new bridleway gate by The Green across to the 3 Springs (route K). The paperwork for the permissive route has been signed by the relevant people in SWT.
I know winter still is very much with us but we do need to do any major vegetation clearance projects before 1st March (to avoid nesting season). I propose we have work party on Saturday 23rd or Sunday 24th Feb say 10:00 to 12:00. We can discuss at our meeting on the 20th and confirm date then.
Please try to help.
To help improve Shropshire Councils services they undertake an annual outdoor recreation satisfaction survey and they would like to hear from us. In these days of stringent financial measures your responses will help them identify key areas for maintenance and development.
The survey should only take about 15 minutes and is in three parts:
Part 1 is about Rights of Way (footpaths and bridleways maintained by Shropshire Council)
Part 2 is about Parks, play areas and countryside sites managed by Shropshire Council
Part 3 asks for details about yourself.
You can fill in either or both parts 1 and 2, but please complete part 3.
Below is a link to their short questionnaire.
The closing date for responses is 31st March 2013.
We are planning a meeting and late Christmas get together with a meal at the Fighting Cocks in Stottesdon on Wednesday 9th Jan at 7:00pm. Let Chris or Yvonne know ASAP if you would like to come along.
A great night was had by all at our fund-raising Quiz and Curry Night. We had 13 teams and managed to raise over £400. This money will allow us to take on some urgent drainage improvement jobs over the next few months (all the money raised goes directly on materials and equipment hire).
Many thanks to all involved and to everyone who bought tickets and raffle tickets. Your support is much appreciated.
A special thanks to our sponsors (County Treks and Clare), to Jo for the catering and making the very yummy curries and to all who helped with question rounds and running the evening (including Pete, Clare, Chris, Jo, Yvonne, Olwen, John).
