    Knowl Hill CAMEO group Xmas Lunch

    by sglover1, 10 months ago

    In December we provided a Christmas Lunch for 25 elderly residents of Knowl Hill as part of our CAMEO get together. This was held in the Village Hall and the food brought in. The event was rounded off with the singing of carols accompanied on keyboards. It was a fun event and an opportunity for everyone to have a last catch-up before Christmas.

    Oaken Grove Park - cleaned pond, new oaks and revamped wildflower beds.

    by Dave Duncan, 10 months ago

    The Thatchers Orchard we planted in late spring is doing very well. We planted 10 trees and it looks like at least 9 of them have taken. We organised weekly watering sessions during the summer and that seems to have helped them get going. We'll water them for at least the first couple of years to help them properly establish.

    We also organised with Wild Maidenhead and Good Gym the cleaning of the Sir Nicholas Winton pond in the summer. This year was very successful and we rehomed all the fish and then dig out many wheel barrow loads of... Continue reading

    Holyport Litterati

    by Gill Hudson, 10 months ago

    Our local litterpicking group has now spent the full amount of the RBWM grant on buying additional litterpicking equipment. Although our growth has been quite slow going we now have 21 new recruits and the extra equipment means we have been able to do quite a lot of group picks with scouts/cubs, schools and corporate volunteers, which has been fantastic and really enjoyable. What’s really encouraging is how positive residents are whenever we go out on our litterpicking sessions, saying how much they appreciate what we do. We got a thank you from our village magazine too!

    Transport Nostalgia - 4 December

    by TVaGWOT, 10 months ago


    So many people shared memories of daily life and special occasions travelling by bus or coach, when we popped up with our new exhibition in Maidenhead High Street in October. On Wednesday 4 December (am) we'll be in the foyer of Tesco Dedworth (not the bus - that will be outside!) showcasing our activities through the year which have brought interest to the lives of visitors and volunteers. We would love to have you visit and see how you might get involved next year.

    We are grateful to Tesco and Community Champion, Jon Davey, for the opportunity to join in... Continue reading
