Annual General Meeting

The AGM of the Friends of Filnore Woods last month was attended by 18 people.  All the usual stuff happened with the committee re-elected en bloc and reports showing we are OK financially and have achieved a lot in the past year - 

• bridge repairs over the stream, 
• brambles controlled,
• path and track improvements,
• steps built, 
• awards from Thornbury in Bloom, 
• health and safety policy, risk assessments and emergency first aid procedures in place
• our first coppice coupe cut, 
• a bat walk and a dawn chorus walk held, 
• surveys conducted,
• litter cleared,
• a 10' container installed as a lockable toolstore, 
• three scythes purchased and a start made on scything. 

Altogether a great set of achievements by the volunteer team.  Well done.

Future plans include hedge laying, charcoal making, green woodwork and even an amphitheatre for dramatic, musical and other cultural events.  I did say 'future'!  You gotta have dreams.

Come and join us.
