Moldrams Ground Village Hall Event

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their services and help on Saturday afternoon, 18th April at the village hall, and to those providing the donations of goods and consumables which made it all possible.

And especial gratitude to our village folk, and visitors from beyond, who made the effort to attend and so generously support the Nature Reserve with their contributions.

Together, we achieved an amazing result. Well done to all.

Cheers, Alan.

Spring litter pick

What a glorious day for a litter pick! Lots of people turned out to collect litter and enjoyed some refreshments afterwards in the village hall. Great to report that in general there seemed to be less litter around than last year. Salters hill once again produced the most, including some items of brand new clothing with tags on which seemed odd.
Well done to everyone who helped, it really makes a difference.
