Fund Raiser – Update

Just a quick note to say that we are hoping to have a fund raising skittles evening soon. This may possibly be in collaboration with Farlow & Oreton Village Hall.  We had provisionally proposed a meeting in The New Inn, Oreton on Monday 3rd Nov to make plans but a) the pub does not open Mondays and b) we need to know if the option of a joint event is going to be practical.

As soon as we have a decision on this we will let you know and arrange a meeting to discuss details.

Meeting 27th October and Thanks

First many thanks are due to Steve and John (plus Yvonne, Pete and Chris) for the hard work they have put in to Route A (Hinton – Winterdyne). John and Steve spent most of the week working on the drainage/improvements. The work has been completed and this route is now safe and use-able.

We now urgently need to review our finances and fund raising and propose to hold a meeting on Monday 27th October 7:30pm at John’s house.

Please let John or myself know if you are able to attend (or not).

Work Party – Route A

John, Steve, Yvonne, Clare and Chris had a successful session on Friday (12th) clearing the Route A which was virtually impassable. Once the drainage work has been done this will be a lovely addition to our bridleway network.

John and Steve hope to start work on the drainage work this week. Please contact Steve or John if you are able to help even if it is only to drop by for moral support and take refreshments.

 

Work Party 6:00pm Fri 12th Sep – Important

John has heard from the council and the stone and drainage pipe is ready for us to use for the Hinton project (route A).

To allow Steve and John to access the path and do the work we first need a work party to clear the route.

Please try to come along this Friday (12th Sept), meeting at the Hinton end of the path (see map) at around 6:00pm.  Please bring loppers, strong gloves etc. to clear back undergrowth.

Drop me or John an email to let us know if you can come along.

Thanks

Chris & John
