Another very big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who assisted in any way during the recent Outdoor Week. The help as always comes in many forms – the preparation, preparing and serving the gang meal, making and delivering the lunchtime sandwiches, actually doing the work and the evening entertainers.

It was pleasing to see some new faces joining the stalwarts again this year.
