The Friends of Therfield Heath

Thank you to everyone who came to the Friends quiz evening in February.

We raised more than enough money to buy Cat the ranger and her Heath volunteers another tree popper to help keep the scrub at bay on the Heath. The remainder of the monies will go towards funding the next project.

A big thank you as well goes to the Heath Café and those who donated such a fabulous wide range of raffle prizes; Prep world, Tesco, Royston Picture Palace, Mia Caro, Shepreth Wildlife Park, Days Bakers, Bury Lane Farm, Jane Manlove, Sandra Ready, Cat Wright, Pam Wright and Janet Rossignol-Bubbins all deserve a mention.

Our first “free for members” event takes place at the end of March. Details will be included in the members newsletter for March. The Friends are hoping that we can continue to enhance membership of the Friends by arranging more “free for members” events in the future.
