Friends of Filnore Woods Work Morning
Thornbury Active Centre
We will meet as usual near the tool store by the main wood entrance that's over the field from the Leisure Centre car park corner.
As you probably know, the mowing machine that S Glos use to keep our paths open has been out of order for some time now and we have spent a lot of effort to do the paths by hand. Now that autumn is coming the grass should grow less vigorously from now on so that job will be easier. However, there is still some work to be done. In particular the path at the bottom of the pylon field going towards post 2 is becoming a bit congested so clearing that will be the main task for the work party.
I will not be able to attend this work party as I'm going away on Saturday 14th for a couple of weeks, so Eric Andrews has kindly offered to look after you all.
Work mornings are usually from 10am till 12pm on the second Sunday and fourth Wednesday of every month.
You've probably noticed in your gardens that grass, bushes and vegetation in general has been growing a lot lately. Filnore is just the same but the growth is starting to cause some difficulty in walking along the paths. Two in particular are the path that goes alongside the sort-it recycling centre from post 13 to post 15, and the shortcut path from the viewpoint along to post 6 which is at the top of the hill down to the bridge. They both need to be opened up to make them passable. That will be the task for the work party.
