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

Next Annual General Meeting of Save Open Spaces Frome Ltd.
Date in 2024: in Frome Town Hall / On Zoom.
Would as many as possible please attend as a quorum of shareholders is required to vote on issues and decisions.
22 November 2018Cows gone for the Winter today. Also see below : fence cut again.
This morning the remaining 83 cows were removed from the grazing fields. They were gathered in the Low Water end field, which has meant that there is a fair amount of mud around there for a while. Ian M. has cleared the metalled path of most the mud etc. this afternoon.
The fence next to the field gate, near the stile from the Sledging Field into the area next to Whatcombe Farm, which featured in the news item of 23rd March earlier this year has been cut again. (See below:View All Stories)
Why?
Probably because the ground under the gate is muddy, and somebody with hefty wirecutters is not wearing suitable footwear. Of course this gate does not lie on a public footpath, so it should not be used by walkers; there is no excuse for this action. This area is not within the SOSWhatcombe Fields property and should be respected as private land. We will to have to repair it yet again.
The way through the fence is via the wooden kissing gate nearer the river. The situation will probably change when the Sustrans cyclepath is completed through this area of the grazing fields.
