IMPORTANT REQUEST FOR HELP
Dear SOS Whatcombe Fields Shareholders
To maintain the diversity of the fields, we need your help. We are holding two thistle-pulling mornings, from 10.00am to 1.00pm, (meeting at the Vernal Lane entrance to the fields) on Sunday 30th April (see report below date 30.4.23) and Saturday 27th May (see report below date 27.5.23)
And an extra session on 30th July, also notified by Mailchimp (added to 27.5.23)
This will be an easy and fun job: we can even have a 'Number of Thistles Pulled' competition!
Please wear sturdy boots and appropriate clothing. Bring gloves and knives if you have them; we do have some gloves if needed.
If you have any questions, please call Jenny on 07760 313305.
Regards,
Steve Small on behalf of the Directors

22 September 2018Another tree into the Sledging Field and across our fence
Due to the very high winds of the past few days at least one more tree has fallen down from the former T.H.White site. We will see what we can do to tidy up Monday 24th if weather permits, or as soon as practicable. JY & IM
Updated 24/09/18 This morning we cleared the fallen tree which inside the SOS Whatcombe Fields area, and repaired the fence which it had damaged. 90 mins.
The willow tree down across the fence
The overhanging branches cleared and our fence repaired.
Following this Ian and I refixed some fence posts which were beginning to come loose, due in part to the ground still being very dry. We then checked that the drain under the public footpath which used to be flooded was flowing well. I also trimmed some of the side growth to the public footpath at that point. This is one of the tasks I do for Somerset C.C. Rights Of Way department, having adopted the public paths running through the Fields area. Jimm
