Practical Work Report
The soggy weather has not deterred out intrepid volunteers, and we
continue to be fortunate to dodge the showers. Nature seems to think
Spring is just round the corner, but anything could happen in the next
couple of months.
Old Moat Reserve – Christmas was celebrated in traditional style – our
thanks to Rita Page for the delicious mince pies, and to our new Chairman
Saul who tempted us with hot mulled wine. Coppicing in the south wood is
now well under way, providing a good training ground for our new volunteers
(whose numbers continue to increase!). Another section of hedge laying
has also been started, harvesting poles and heatherings from around the
reserve. With 8 or more volunteers at each session now, I have ordered
another 2 small bow saws, and considering another 2 loppers. And with all
that equipment, we have really benefitted from Karl’s trailer, which he has
fitted with a front wheel and tow bar, making it easy to take down to the Old
Moat. Future Work Parties scheduled as follows: March 2nd, 16th, and 30th.
Contact Roger Watson if you are interested in coming along.
Glebe Meadows – The middle dividing hedge has now been completely
cut back. Andy Fleckney returned for another bonfire, but also took down
the large Sycamore by the ditch outflow, and put in several stakes to
reinforce the riverside fencing. We are now making good progress cutting
back the final section of railway hedge, which is all adding to our already
large woodpile by the river. Work Parties most Wednesday mornings –
contact Karl Griffiths. As with the Old Moat, our busy time is October
through to March.
Footpaths / Pix Green – I am pleased to announce that Vic Williams
is setting up a Friday morning work party, with Richard Harris and Dave
Whittaker as founding members. I have suggested that they should
concentrate initially on the footpath network, as that probably gets the
least attention, and we haven’t had a proper footpath survey in a while.
Depending on what they find needs doing, we can rope in extra help
as required.

Fairfield Bowls Club
We may be in the depths of winter but spring is just around the corner. If you
have thoughts of getting out more with a little gentle exercise why not try
Bowls. The game suits all ages and most people can fully participate in this
family sport. The present world ladies champion is 23 years old and English,
could you be next?
Fairfield Bowls Club is currently recruiting new members with or without
previous experience, so why not give it a try? The Club is situated on
Fairfield Park, close to the Tesco Express, so if you live in Arlesey or
surrounding districts it’s not far to travel.
The Club participates in both friendly and competitive matches with
other Clubs in the area, so whatever your ambitions there’s something for
all. Whether it’s just you or you and a partner, all are welcome. The Club
majors on sociability, whose members enjoy sport and life. We hold quizzes,
themed suppers and race nights at our licensed clubhouse, mixed with the
occasional outing.
Our open day is on Saturday 19th April from 2.30pm [see our advert] why not come along, try the game and make new friends? All you need is a
pair of trainers or flat soled shoes.
As an inducement we are offering the first years full membership FREE.
