ST.BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH: At the local church on Sunday 12th February, “Holy Communion” will take place.
The service starts at 9:30am and everyone is welcome.
DANESHILL LAKES: The Friends of Daneshill Lakes local Nature Reserve at Torworth have organised two special events for February at the Reserve.
- The first event on Friday 17th February, being in school half-term week and National Nest Box Week, the friends are inviting children to build their own bird nest box to take home. They can also learn how to identify all the ducks, geese and swans on the lake. Make bird feeders using cones to take home, take a look at the natural world through a microscope, and do much more family activities. There is a charge of £5.00 per nest box but otherwise this drop-in event is free! Hot drinks and home-made cakes will be on sale. The event takes place from 11:00am to 3:30pm and children must be accompanied by an adult.
- On Sunday 26th February our popular wild flower enthusiast Kevin Widdowson will be concentrating on trees and “how do you know which tree is which” when they have no leaves? All will be revealed at this free to join, community family event which runs from 10:30am to 12:30pm, meeting in the reserve car park at 10:15am. No booking require.
If you are interested in supporting the Friends of Daneshill lakes, their next meeting takes place on Monday 13th February at 7:00pm at the Idle Valley Rural Learning Centre. You will be made very welcome if you come along. Membership is £5.00per year.
