'WORM' Cleared

20/09/12
Today's session we cleared a poly tunnel of beans and prepared the soil for the next crop to be planted. It was 'WORM' the largest of the poly tunnels, just over 100 feet in length.

Volunteer Workshop.

Monday 17th September 2012

 Teambuilding session 1

As the volunteers were meeting for the first time, we had a few ice breakers as a way of introduction, then had a guided tour of the Freshfields site whose facilities we would be using.

Question and answer session:       What time is lunch?

                                                   When you have made it!!!

Lunch was a joint effort with everybody contributing, even if it was just making the brews, all part of getting to know each other.

After lunch 2 teams were formed, 3 people on each team, and votes were cast for team names, finally settled on Team Black and Team White. Each team was given an envelope and asked to open, read and consider/work out a plan for the next time we meet! See you in session 2.

Coldwell Walk.

Saturday 8th September 2012: walking boots were laced up once again as five people were interested in having a walk through Coldwell Woods, (lunch in the cafe afterwards could have accounted for a percentage of the enthusiasm).

Spent an hour and a half breathing in the wonderful scent from the pine trees as we walked along the well kept paths, then retreated to the cafe to sample some home cooking. (That smelt good too!)

Open Day.

26th August 2012

                                        OPEN DAY                                                                             

Today we had an open day for volunteer recruitment, but also to showcase the facilities at our disposal.

There were all the regular attractions e.g. tombola, raffles, name the bear stall etc, but we also had a downhill chariot race and an open Glitter Club class.

It looked  like everyone had a good time, and we recruited 2 volunteers.  Not a bad days work!

Volunteers Wanted!

We are now recruiting volunteers to help deliver our programme of activities, 'Creative Daze', through the autumn and winter months.

Cemetery Walk

Wednesday 8th August 2012

Lots of debate over whether we should do this walk at night time, but decided it would be more interesting if we could read the headstones and maybe do a bit of research into some of the more interesting names.
