Newsletters

Many thanks go to Sarah this month, not just for putting out another fantastic newsletter, but for all the newsletters she has provided over the last couple of years.  We’ve really enjoyed each and every one, but sadly other commitments have meant that she will no longer be able to continue  with it.

The good news is that Judith will be taking over, so please keep the articles coming in.  Over the years we’ve developed a huge readership so if there’s something you would like to tell them and you can pen a few words or take a few pictures, please send them to judith@swog.org.uk

Summer is here, if you look at the calendar that is!  It’s been the wettest June ever and our rather expensive irrigation system we installed last winter to water our freshly coppiced and replanted hedge seems a little surplus to requirements!
