Friends of Danesbury Nature Reserve/Fernery – please note carefully

Our annual Working Party is one week early in December – THE SECOND THURSDAY – to do a bit of work and then celebrate all the hard work we have carried out during the year.

Nature Reserve Working Party – led by Andrew Beattie

After collecting their tools from the shed this Working Party will be working in the (new) Clock Meadow at the South East corner of the Fernery Field. They will continue the great scrub bashing start they made in October which will lead to habitat improvement in the New Year.

The Fernery Gardening Group

Led by Harry Ward this Working Party will continue bulb planting, site clearance and maintenance work, and anything else they can think of. Bridge building will be a month or so away – with more celebrations planned no doubt.

The Christmas Party

At the blast of the Fernery Whistle, all work will stop, tools will be returned to the shed, and the Party will begin.

Good weather Location – in the Fernery

Bad weather location – 6 Roman Way, by kind invitation of Hilary and Harry Ward.

Refreshments

Food and bites

  • Hilary is producing Sausage rolls and other ‘naughty goodies’
  • Sue is preparing flap jacks
  • Sara is baking Spiced Xmas Muffins
  • Jenny is producing chocolate cup cakes
  • John has already bought Stohlen (not stolen) cake

Drinks

  • Hilary and Harry are providing Mulled Wine
  • Colin is providing non-alcoholic beverages.

Before or After the real one – this Party will be worth a Vote – so please do not miss it!

We look forward to seeing you all there.
