Summer News 2010
Welcome to the GVCV Summer programme. It contains an excellent selection of seasonal tasks at a variety of sites throughout the County and beyond. These include perennial favourites such as ragwort pulling and another chance to get involved with a water vole survey. There should be something for everyone, with projects running at once a fortnight over the next few months.
As always we could do with some additional help on the committee, particularly keeping the membership details up to date and dealing with email enquiries from potential new volunteers. The work isn’t too onerous but is important in helping the group maintain accurate records and ensure everyone is kept informed of tasks and events. A working knowledge of IT is probably desirable.
On the social front there are plenty of opportunities to meet up and make the most of the fine English summer that is guaranteed! Canoeing down the Wye and a butterfly walk on Stinchcombe Hill finishing with a pub lunch are some of the highlights. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to lead a task or organise a social. Without this support the group wouldn’t be able to carry on. If anyone else would like to help out with leading, please contact one of the existing leaders. Particular thanks to Jules for organising a highly successful weekend on Exmoor.
Happy volunteering.
