Andrew has asked if there are any particular topics you would like him to cover or any questions you’d like to ask?

Saturday 29 Sep 2018(1 event) The Preston Trust: ‘Walks and Talks’ in our parish Having been immersed in the research and writing of our Neighbourhood Plan in recent months, some of us have realised once again how much of important ecological and historical value we have, in this small parish. In order to share this knowledge with any interested parishioner, the Preston Trust has now organised visits to three sites, this summer/autumn. These ‘Walks and Talks’ are all free. We have very kindly now been given permission by three owners to view their properties, which are judged by the relevant government departments to be of national value. Saturday, July 28th: Princess Helena College, a Grade2* Listed Building and a Grade2* Registered Landscape Park and Gardens, guided by Mike Kellard and Liz Hunter Saturday, August 25th: Tudor House, Poynders End, a Grade 2* Listed Building, and its octagonal Dairy, a Grade 2 Listed Building, guided by Colin Heathcote Saturday, September 29th: Wain Wood, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, guided by Lee Williams, Forester, Pilkington Farms Partnership, Kings Walden Bury Estate Please meet on The Green at 10.00am for the first 2 visits, and at 9.45am for the 3rd visit. Each visit will last for c. 2 hours. We would like the group, on each occasion, to be not less than 10 people, and not more than 25; accompanied youngsters over 10 years are very welcome; no dogs, please. We will walk to these sites, meet the owners or their representatives, have the opportunity to discuss these properties and seek to understand why they are so highly valued, and then walk back to The Green. These three really are our ‘Top Three Special Places’, in this parish, on our own doorstep! Each is well worth a guided visit. Do please come along and see them! As these are private properties, booking for the visits is essential. Please email me on elizabethhunter671@btinternet.com, or telephone 433859, or drop a note into my letter box at Rose Cottage, saying which visit/s you would like to join. Many thanks.

Saturday 27 Oct 2018(1 event) – The Preston Trust would, once again, like to invite you all to come and help pick up litter around the village and across the parish. Do, please, come and join us on The Green, on Saturday October 27th, at 10.00am. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and do please bring your rubber gloves! NHDC are willing once again to loan us HiViz jackets and ‘litter-picker’ tools. As usual, we will work in pairs along each lane and footpath, and then bring the filled plastic bags back to The Green. Despite the heavy traffic on all the lanes of this parish, our regular Litter Pick Up sessions do greatly help to keep ‘our patch’ reasonably clean and green. This exercise is mildly interesting, and soon over and done with! Just come along and lend a hand, this October, please. Many thanks. Liz Hunter, PT committee member The Village Green |
