February already? "How do you spell 'love'?" asked Piglet… .."You don't spell it...you feel it." answered Pooh. What a lovely quote! It doesn’t take much to show someone you love them, and it is true that it’s the thoughts and efforts that go a long way. So even if you don’t have a special someone in February just have a go at extending some love to a person close to you. Talking about love - I think it is quite tangible in Newent, which has such a great sense of community spirit. I've met so many people from Newent and surrounds who are always looking at ways to keep making their town a better place to live. Examples of this can be seen in articles throughout the magazine. An important date to note this month is 12th February, when there will be Town Meeting which is open to anyone to attend, where you can have your say! See p7 for more details. Thank you to those who have contacted us with wonderful comments about Newent Magazine since the January launch issue went out! It seems that you enjoyed the read and so I hope that you will continue to look forward to receiving your monthly community magazine. Due to popular demand, our print and distribution is now 4,000 copies per month, delivered to the following areas:
Newent - Gorsley - Dymock - Cliffords Mesne Highleadon - Tibberton - Taynton - Huntley - Hignham The magazine is also available to pick up in local shops, Post Offices, Pubs and Garden Centres in the area, and can be viewed online by visiting www.newentmagazine.co.uk. We received a lot of competition entries for our competitions in the previous issue! Congratulations to Carey Russell who has won a Try Dive with Dive 90, and Christine Devereaux who has won a £30 voucher from Rogan Josh. This month we have some great prizes again so please see p21 for details on how to enter. If there is anything you would like to see in your community magazine, please submit info via www.newentmagazine.co.uk or email me at community@ newentmagazine.co.uk. We will consider anything you send in and if we can't fit it in the magazine it will go on the website if appropriate. Lastly, congratulations to Newent's 1st XV who won the South West Senior Vase on 1st February. We especially held back our print in order to include the match report of this important fixture, you can read it and see a few pictures on p10&11. More pictures can be viewed on our Facebook page and on Newent RFC's website. - Vicky (Editor)

A small group led by local historian Dood Pearce is updating and expanding the display in the Market House. All of the popular features will remain: screenprinted history boards, archaeological artefacts from the Bronze Age right up to WWII, Newent Quilters’ millennium hangings and a good selection of reference materials and tourist leaflets. We plan to celebrate local music-making in the new display. Also, we have a cabinet just waiting to hold artefacts found by local residents. Could you lend us something? Thousands of visitors have been welcomed by volunteer stewards, and they are always complimentary about the display, the town and the people of Newent. Comments from the visitors’ book include: "Pretty town, lovely buildings" (Devon); "A gem well worth visiting" (Penarth); "Congratulations on keeping your• lovely town so ‘English’ – long may it continue Planning Applications Newent" (Halesowen); "We are so lucky to have • Sketch Scheme Designs people who collect and display artefacts" (Worcester) • Building Regulation Applications "I like the WWII stuff" (a local youngster!) • Working Drawing Detailing • Extensions & Alterations

Why Us? Having provided professional Estate Planning services in the Gloucestershire area for a number of years we became aware that many retired clients were confused by financial & legal jargon and didn’t know where to turn for quality advice. So that is why we launched Total Later Life Solutions, a unique personal service, offering comprehensive advice to enable clients to plan effectively for themselves and their families' future in the privacy of their own homes, with people they can trust.
What We Offer • Bespoke Will Writing Service • Advice on pre-paid Funeral Plans • Lasting Power of Attorney • Assistance with Personal Taxation • Assistance with Estate Administration & Probate Services We make sure peace of mind and affordability go hand in hand and that our services provide a convenient and cost effective alternative to those offered by other providers.
Confused by financial and legal jargon? Want to discuss protecting you and your families future but don’t know where to go for
quality advice?
We are an established Gloucestershire company whose aim is to help you make some of the most important
choices in retirement as simple as possible.
We provide a professional home based service offering advice on Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney, Funeral Plans and assistance with Personal Taxation and Probate.
If you need specialist advice, such as Financial Planning and Equity Release we have links with trusted local professionals.
Why Plan? By writing a Will, clients put themselves in control of how their wealth is ultimately distributed and give themselves the peace of mind which comes with knowing they have done everything they can for those they care about the most. We will advise you about the options available and help you find the right solution to achieve what you want.
50+ Funeral Plans We work with Golden Charter the UK’s largest independent funeral plan provider. Over 60% of funerals in the UK are carried out by independent funeral directors, many of whom are family run businesses who have served their communities for generations. We believe this offers you a local, personal service that makes a difference. Back in 2004, an average funeral cost around £1,920. However, recent research* shows the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £3,456 - an increase of 80% in nine years, well above the general level of inflation. If this trend continues, the average cost of a funeral in 2022 will be over £6,220. * Source - Sun Life Direct Cost of Dying Survey 2013
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA's) An LPA is an essential legal document which helps protect your interests during your lifetime. Many people consider it as important as a Will and see it as one of the final pieces in the process of planning and protecting their estate. Whilst a Will describes what happens when you die, you seldom think about who would manage your affairs, or make decisions regarding your welfare, should you not be able to do so yourself. We will be pleased to take you through the process of setting up LPA's and registering them with the Office of the Public Guardian.

Green Army weather the storm to march on in the cup RFU Senior Vase South West Final Newent 18 Old Plymothian & Mannamedian 11
Newent deservedly added the South West Senior Vase to their growing list of honours but had to work very hard to overcome their big and well organised visitors from Plymouth. A sticky pitch, more stormy weather and two well drilled defences meant this was never going to be a feast of running rugby, but a tense contest was none the less absorbing for being focussed around two well matched sets of forwards. Well matched that is except at the scrum, where the Newent eight’s superb technique gave them a clear edge over their bigger opponents which was a key factor in the victory. With the elements in their favour in the first half, Newent knew that they needed go into the interval with a healthy lead but although they dominated territory and possession they found the OPMs’ defence very hard to break down. The visitors were guilty of being too quick off the mark on occasion, conceding several penalties for offside, but there was much to admire in the speed and strength of their tackling. Judging from the way the fly half was closed down at the earliest opportunity, news of Joe Goatley’s ability had reached south-west Devon and OPMs were determined not to let him boss the game.
Page 10
The first scoring opportunity fell to Goatley, but his penalty attempt from just inside the OPMs’ half went wide. However, a few minutes later he played an important role as Newent opened their account with a well worked try. From a line out on the OPMs’ 22 the Newent pack executed a textbook driving maul. When it was pulled down illegally just short of the line Newent opted for the scrum rather than a kick to touch or at goal, a sure sign of their confidence in this department. Lee Warren’s pick and go from the base of the scrum was stopped just short but quick ruck ball was spun right to Joe Goatley, who fed Brett Gardner with a well-timed pass. The right wing still had some work to do but gave another reminder of his finishing ability, if one were needed, to touch down in the corner. Joe Goatley’s fine conversion from the touchline put Newent 7-0 ahead after 13 minutes. Newent launched another attack from the restart and created some rare space out wide but Brett Gardner’s ambitious long pass to fellow wing Dan Bubb-Sacklyn failed to go to hand and the move broke down. Newent kept up the pressure and increased their lead to 10-0 half an hour into the game. The OPMs’ backs were caught offside at a lineout and Joe Goatley landed the penalty from 25m. Newent were straight back on the attack from the restart, thanks to a huge wind-assisted clearance
from Joe Goatley which rolled into touch 5m from the line. Although OPMs won the resultant line out it was at the cost of conceding a 5m scrum. OPMs turned Newent’s scrum to win back possession but then conceded it again at the next scrum as a mighty shove from the Newent pack disrupted their heel. But they managed to hold Newent’s second attempt at a pushover, forcing Lee Warren to pick and go. Although the Newent pack recycled the ball through several phases they couldn’t break down determined defence and in the end had to settle for 3 points when OPMs were caught offside again in the shadow of their posts and Joe Goatley chipped over the penalty, giving his side a 13 – 0 lead at the interval – healthy but not decisive and arguably a poor return for their dominance of territory and possession. Half-time: Newent 13 Old Plymothian & Mannamedian 0 For the second half Newent decided to fight fire with fire up front by replacing Lee Warren with John Duffin, the big enforcer slotting in at No 8. The first chance of the second half fell to OPMs, when left wing Matt Thompson ran on to a clever cross kick from fly half Jake Luffman only to be felled by a ‘Mezz special’, a crunching, all enveloping tackle from Newent full back Rich Merrett. Although this rare attack came to nothing it demonstrated the potential of the OPMs’ backs given some decent possession, a potential which was to be realised late in the game.

Newent regained possession and for the next 10 minutes it looked like a case of normal service resumed as Newent camped deep in the OPMs’ half, without finding a way to breach their defence. Another good drive from a line out looked promising but was forced into touch just short. Eventually OPMs cleared their lines to near halfway when Newent’s backs were caught offside. Newent were penalised again then stupidly conceded another 10m for backchat to the ref, taking play into their half and within the kicking range of OPMs’ Tom Finnie. With the wind behind it the full back’s penalty sailed between the posts and OPMs were off the mark. Two minutes later Newent were penalised again, this time for not releasing, and Finnie stepped up to bang over another long range penalty from a very similar position to his first. So, despite OPMs scarcely having entered their 22 all game, Newent found themselves only 13-6 ahead due to their loss of discipline. The feeling that the game was shifting in OPMs’ favour was compounded by the sight of Newent’s influential tight head prop Chris Steward limping off with a recurrence of the injury which has kept him out for the past few weeks. Lee Warren returned to the field at tight head and it is a credit to his all-round ability that Newent maintained an advantage at the scrum despite ‘Lodge’s’ absence. Their prowess at the set piece enabled Newent to weather the storm and eventually they worked their way back into the OPMs’ 22. A penalty against the visitors 20m out gave Joe Goatley a chance to put Newent more than one score ahead again but the wind blew the ball off the tee as he began his run-up and his hurried re-take was pulled wide.
But Newent kept up the pressure, patiently going through the phases as they worked their way towards the OPMs’ line. Darts from Ross Webb then John Duffin were held up just short of the line before ‘Rocky’ Marriott and Greg Tovey –on as a replacement in a welcome return to the first teampicked and drove from the base of a ruck close to the line to claim the touchdown (which is to say they both claimed the touchdown – afterwards opinion was divided on whom it should be credited to, although the balance seemed to be in favour of the veteran hooker). Joe Goatley’s conversion went wide but at 18-6 ahead Newent looked out of sight. Perhaps the release of tension amongst the home supporters at a bulging Stade de Rec spread to the players too, for there seemed to be a lapse of concentration as OPMs conjured a memorable try to ensure that the tension would endure until the final whistle. Not for the first time in the match, an isolated Newent ball carrier was stripped of possession as he ran into heavy traffic in midfield. OPMs spun the ball along the line which Tom Finnie hit at pace. The full back had it all to do but he stepped past three defenders on a beautifully balanced run which ended with an unopposed touchdown under the posts. In his haste to take the conversion Finnie opted for a drop goal rather than a kick off the tee and contrived to put the ball under the posts, leaving the score at 18-11. With the referee signalling one minute left there was still potential for OPMs to claim a converted try to take the game into extra time but Newent secured possession and their pack ran down the clock before scrum half Dom Matthews kicked the ball to touch, to cue shouts of celebration – mingled with not a little relief- amongst home players and supporters alike. So the Green Army marches on and is now just two matches away from a return trip to that famous cabbage patch in south-west London. Next up is a trip to the winners of the Southern Counties Senior Vase, either Gosford All Blacks, from Kidlington north of Oxford, or Chesham, whom Newent beat last season at the corresponding stage of the Junior Vase. The match (Southern Counties champions vs Newent) is scheduled for 22nd February.

The Better Life Cutting It Fine by Derek Thompson The crisp and sometimes frosty mornings now don’t deter nature. It whispers, ‘spring is coming - honest - it’s just stuck in traffic.’ There’s work to be done, and plenty of it. To begin with, Anne decided more snowdrops would be just the thing, so she carefully lifted the clumps and divided them before replanting. My contribution was to go and put the kettle on. This is a time of year for taking stock in the garden and for preparing to restock. Inevitably, there are casualties; even perennials have their limitations and our perpetual chard has finally reached the end. We’ll definitely plant out more though, as perpetual chard is the gift that keeps on giving. It’s also time to start onions and spring salad leaves under cover. The tail end of winter - fingers crossed at time of writing - also marks that point where firewood stocks are running low and it’s time to bring out Charlie the Chainsaw. When I first acquired the saw it spent a long time in the shed with its blade pristine, despite Anne constructing a sawhorse that looked like something out of The Krypton Factor. I’m afraid my reputation where pointy things, electricity, heat Page 14
or water are concerned is well deserved. My initial worry with the chainsaw was that I’d be all fingers and thumbs. Fortunately, it’s a small, electric model, so no risk of anything involving the words whirring and ladder. Even so, the first time I used it I somehow managed to slip the chain from the mechanism. It’s all in the preparation: read the booklet first and then watch the clips on the Internet. Cutting up firewood can be immensely satisfying when you’ve lugged it up from the woods or rescued it from a lay-by. Okay, it might not be up there with building an igloo or trekking through the Amazon but it’s still working in harmony with the environment. The whole garden gets a bit of a spruce up now, although we leave the anti-frost fleece around the vulnerable plants until warmer weather is assured. Our tools receive some much-needed attention as well, and I generally clean out the dried grass from the lawn mower that I promised myself I’d do before Christmas. Indoors, the Vietnamese coriander is thriving, as are the cuttings we took of icing sugar, penstemon and heather (it was discarded on a footpath and I thought waste not, want not).
Our seeds are labelled up and ready - the usual vegetable suspects, plus agapanthus, last year’s chillies, a lemon seed or two and a ginger bud. (I’m ever hopeful of producing a completely homegrown curry sauce one day.) There are also repairs to consider. The roof of the coalbunker is more plastic sheeting than wood now, so every storm is followed by my own version of rooftop Russian roulette. Similarly, the shed door is surviving by a single, ailing hinge. It will all require time, effort and skill - luckily, I know just the neighbour. Speaking of which, we had a visitor recently - a former neighbour who moved away a year ago. He said he was just passing and asked if he could borrow our wheelbarrow. Unfortunately for him, we don’t have one. As it almost says in Hamlet, “Neither a lender nor a barrower be.” Derek Thompson is a writer and humourist based in the West Country.

Love Food, Love Gadgets A helping hand to prepare a romantic meal
Valentine’s Day is like Christmas for restaurants, but all too often their love-struck customers end up fobbed off with overpriced set menus and a distinct lack of atmosphere. If it’s true that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, wouldn’t it be better to wow your partner with something you’ve cooked up yourself? Best of all, you can use it as an excuse to splash out on some new kitchen gadgets too. We’re big fans of Joseph Joseph’s brightly coloured (and quite expensive) cooking gadgets, such as its foldable TriScale (£30), its Elevate raised utensils and its very useful Chop2Pot foldable chopping boards. If the price is a little high you’ll find shopping around online can save you a packet, and there are plenty of more affordable imitations too. Grating, chopping, blending, pureeing, julienning, mixing, do-everything Food processors are fantastic things, and while they can be pricey there are plenty of deals around: a quick bit of online research uncovers Kenwood’s FP736 for £89.99 instead of the £120 RRP, and multi-function blenders such as the Shef Collection for £17.99 instead of £49.99. If that’s still Page 18
too much or you just don’t have room for all the attachments, electric choppers can be picked up for around £12. Some of our favourite gadgets are the simplest ones: Microplane graters were originally designed for woodworking but are fantastic for parmesan and can be found for as little as £10, while mandoline slicers take the effort out of preparing fruit and veg. Expect to pay around £10 to £20 for a good one. If your partner’s a barbecue fan, don’t let the fact it’s still winter deter you: Philips’ Avance Table Grill promises all the taste of a smoky barbecue without having to leave the house. It looks like a chunky George Foreman grill and at £95 costs quite a bit more than one, but unlike some of George’s grills the plate is detachable and dishwasher safe and you can use its unique infusers to add smoke flavours (from real wood chips) or liquids such as marinades. Just make sure you put it near a cooker hood if you’re using it to smoke your food, or your romantic evening could end up involving the local fire brigade. We’re keen on celebrity chefs here in Britain, and one of the biggest is Jamie Oliver - and
he hasn’t been shy when it comes to lending his name to everything from tea towels to salad servers. He’s also put his name on Philips’ Homecooker, which promises “a completely fresh approach to cooking”. It’s a cross between a slow cooker and a food processor, and it chops, slices, shreds, grates, cooks, stirs, steams and keeps cooked food warm. The HomeCooker is a fairly frightening £250, and if you want one you’ll have to go to John Lewis. No romantic dinner would be complete without a nice bottle of wine, but if you’re worried about wrestling with a traditional corkscrew there are plenty of alternatives. Le Creuset’s Screwpulls make opening wine particularly easy, and while the larger models cost around £30 you can pick up plastic ones for around £11. They’re much easier to use than traditional corkscrews and less likely to damage the cork, although if you’d rather keep things old-school you can pick up a waiter’s friend corkscrew for as little as £2.45. Even good ones won’t cost much more than £10. Images left to right: Joseph Joseph TriScale; Screwpull Corkscrew; Jamie Oliver Homecooker; Philips Avance Table Grill

February 13th 2014 6.00 - 8.00pm Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre
YOUR POST-16 FUTURE STARTS HERE Deciding what to do post 16 can be both exciting and daunting. We hope that our Post 16 Evening and Careers Fair will make your decision easier.
Come and talk to our Sixth Form subject staff and representatives from: • Higher and Further Education establishments • Work related training providers • Local employers and businesses • Apprenticeships • Armed Forces
Striving for excellence Watery Lane Newent Gloucestershire GL18 1QF
For information call 01531 828915 or visit www.newent.gloucs.sch.uk
Striving for Excellence Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre has a thriving and successful Sixth Form. In the most recent Ofsted report (2013), it was highlighted that, ‘The Sixth Form is good and students are making good progress’. The report commented favourably on, ‘the teaching in the Sixth Form is good. Teaching is characterised by a high level of challenge, students who are fully engaged in the lesson and the expectation of extended responses to teachers’ questions’ and highlighted that ‘students in the Sixth Form, who enter with average or above-average attainment, make good progress because they follow suitable courses’. 2013 was another very successful year for our Year 13 students with a 97% pass rate at A2, with 36% at A*, A or B grades and 67% A*-C. Whilst we are always proud of all of our many individual successes and achievements there are always some notable outstanding results each year. In August 2013 a significant number of students achieved at least an A* or an A in two out of the three of their subjects and some achieved an A* in all three. As in previous years a number of students took five, rather than four, AS levels last year and achieved 5 A’s . Page 20
At Newent we also know how important it is for students to be involved in things beyond academic study as well. We have designated timetable time for ‘enrichment’ activities, such as: Sport; Music; Public Speaking; Mock Bar Trial, Scuba Diving, cross-country skiing in the Arctic Circle; Interact (one of only two Sixth Form Rotary Clubs in Gloucestershire); Senior Mathematics Challenge, connected to Bath University; accelerated learning workshops in Science at Monmouth School and Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Of course you can always pursue your own enriching activities and we will do our best to support you with these too. As a school Striving for Excellence we also provide our Sixth Form students with a great range of opportunities to work within the community and build up a portfolio of skills that help with University entrance, employability or apprenticeships. We are very aware that the step up from GCSE to Advanced Level is huge and as a result you will need guidance on how to use non-contact lessons (study time) wisely and become better independent learners. We employ our own full time Guided Learning Lead who is always on hand to guide, teach and develop learning skills ready for University and the wider world after you leave Newent Sixth Form Centre.

Tegan's Dream The people of Newent have pulled out all the stops to show their love and support for local girl, Tegan Rendell, who is 9 years old and has a very rare auto immune disease (gad mediated encethelopathy) that attacks the brain. Tegan also has type one Diabetes, Coeliac disease, Epilepsy and a benign brain tumour. Money is being raised to take her to the World's Cheerleading competition in Disney Florida in April this year. The goal is to raise around ÂŁ5000 to fulfil Tegan's Dream. Tegan cheers with GCA Gloucester Cheer Association, which is where the idea of fundraising began. Her cheer family could see the difference in Tegan over the past year. She has carried on with her love of the sport when she is well enough. She would be tumbling and cheering all day if she could! Numerous events have been organised to help with raising money. More upcoming events include: Childrens disco at the George Hotel Sat 8th February 1pm-1.30pm ÂŁ1 per child. Cake sale at the Market House also on Sat 8th February.
Please check the Tegan's Dream Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/508091702641036 for up to date information on upcoming events and find out how you can help. Cheer squads from all around the world have donated money, offered kit and are going to meet up with Tegan when she and her mom are at the competition, and Tegan is really looking forward to it. Newent as a community have been donating wonderful prizes for upcoming events and the support has been amazing.
If you would like to donate money please visit the donation page gofundme.com/63jmps. There are also collection boxes in Redz, Circle Club, Sweet Success, Gooch Sports, The George hotel and GCA gym.

Pet Proofing Your Garden by Pippa Greenwood
There’s always a lot to say about small pests such as greenfly, caterpillars, vineweevil and so forth, but early in the year it’s some of the bigger ‘residents’ which can really drive you around the bend. I’m talking about cats and dogs. What can you do to ensure that you continue to garden happily, successfully and safely, despite the fact the garden is visited by cats and dogs… and without harming these lovely creatures either? You may need to consider actively fencing off one part of the garden for your dog, and trying to keep another area completely dog free. If you have problems with dogs coming in from next door, then it’s essential that you make repairs to fences. Now is a good time because there’s relatively little plant foliage to hide holes, gaps or loose panels in fencing. Remember that the dog is also likely to be able to squeeze underneath or around many types of fence, so you may need to use chicken netting or similar. Don’t forget that gates as well as fences need to be dog-proofed, and never left open for the dog to wander through. If you really have a serious problem that this won’t resolve then you can try a fox deterrent such as ‘Fox-Watch’. Sometimes a few strategically planted dense and prickly Page 24
shrubs such as pyracantha may help to deter digging paws. Obviously you don’t want to cause the animal actual harm, but something sharp, prickly or simply very dense can act as a good deterrent. Next door’s cat or others in the neighbourhood are trickier to deal with as unfortunately they do tend to try and do their ‘toileting’ along the edges of their own territory, making your garden a prime target area. If your cat or a neighbour’s cat is a problem, bear in mind that the more bare soil there is, the more likely that a cat will start to use it as its loo. Ground cover planting is essential and you could always use temporary annual flowers to fill in gaps between longer term planting. If you find that these too are scuffed up shortly after you have planted them, then the best thing to do is cover newly planted areas of bedding with an arch of chicken mesh or with sticks with taut string tied between them. Obviously this will look a mess but can be removed promptly once the plants have rooted well and started to establish. I have found that the electronic cat deterrent ‘Cat-Watch’ works very well too. Mulching materials can sometimes cause problems and despite what the label says, many gardeners have told me
that they found that the cocoa shell mulches seem to attract cats. Generally speaking soggy mulches like this or anything with a strong smell do tend to deter cats, as they hate digging in moist material. Take extreme care if dogs use the garden as cocoshell mulches can prove fatal to them. Mulches made of large pebbles or stones also tend to keep them at bay, but smaller diameter gravel or shingle seems to be quite attractive to some cats. Areas of freshly sown seed look very attractive to a cat or dog and again are best protected either by chicken mesh or sticks and string. Remember to keep the string taut at all times, as there’s a slight risk that birds could become entangled in it. Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for a great range of gardeningrelated items including ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ veg growing system, electronic cat and fox deterrents, lots of slug controls, Pippa’s favourite weeding tool, and many other useful garden items.

Rotary initiative will ensure EVERYONE can share beauty of Betty Dawe's Wood Betty Dawe’s Wood is part of Dymock Woods, a large ancient woodland best known for it’s spectacular show of wild daffodils during March /April each year. Located at Four Oaks near Oxenhall, just 2 miles from Newent, it is part of the Wild Daffodil Trail, a walk that takes in a number of daffodil sites in this ‘golden triangle’ of Gloucestershire. Detailed free Walk Leaflets are available from the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
Rotary Club Project manager in discussion with representatives from our partners in this project, Forestry Commission & Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
However, whilst there is an existing path that encircles the wood, it is mostly surfaced with gravel, & during wet weather it often becomes very ‘boggy’. The Rotary Club of Newent & District therefore decided to try and improve the entrance access & the pathway for those with mobility issues, especially visitors in wheel chairs who cannot currently get to see the splendid display of daffodils. The Club has raised this initiative with the owners, the Forestry Commission, & together with the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Rotary are delighted to confirm that we have now secured finance and an agreement for the proposed works to commence as soon as the weather improves, hopefully within the next two weeks. The Rotary Club are financing over 50% of the £3000 + total project costs from it’s local charity fund raising efforts, with our partners the Forestry Commission & Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust providing the balance. It is hoped that when completed, the Rotary Club initiative to improve the entrance & pathway access through the woods will provide a disabled friendly walkway, that will ensure everyone can share the beauty of this wood, it’s daffodils, the many different birds and wildlife.
