A big ‘Thank You’ to the nine volunteers who turned up on Saturday 17th April for the village clean-up day.  Between us we picked up 26 sackfuls of discarded waste from the Binfield Heath road verges.

 It’s just a pity that it is always the same faces that turn up  -  we need more volunteers. If you didn’t hear about it and would like to be personally notified next year, please send me an email:  rpawson at nakedobjects dot org and I’ll let you know.

I know that some of you make a regular habit of taking a carrier bag with you on a walk and picking up a few items.  Keep up the good work.

A total of 17 people came together to install a 150 metre water supply to ensure that all plot holders have reasonable access to wtaer nearby.  trenches were dug, pipe laid and joined up, backfilled and turf re-laid all by 2 pm!  Cakes were supplied and shared to keep everyone going until the job was done, saving a bill of many thousands if the Water Authority had done it for us.  Many thanks to the Parish Council for the grant to make this possible.
