Dress to thrill!

Everyone is encouraged to come dressed in the period……wide skirts and nets are in for the ladies, but so are hobble skirts and cardigans! Men can come as teddy boys in colourful zoot suits, or James Dean lookalikes, sporting sideburns and greased hairdos. Or they can go for the university look of leather-elbow patched cardigans….or  anything else you want!

Tickets are £15. Contact the CARESCO office on 01487 832105. Or Maggi Stewart, the organiser, on 01832 293759.

Jubilee Wood Winter Maintenance

 

Jubilee Wood

Winter maintenance

The Jubilee Wood is in need of some ground maintenance. The area to the right of the main entrance is encroaching onto the grass ride. A five metre band from the entrance to the central grass area needs to be cleared, leaving just the planted trees.

You will need to bring loppers, shears, pruning saws and stout gloves or whatever you have in your garden maintenance armoury.

This work will commence from Saturday 15th November and for the following 3 Saturday’s starting at 10am for a couple of hours or however long you can give. I’m sure we can arrange a coffee break for 11am
