Lindengate Update, Easter 2015
Happy Easter Everyone!
Thank you very much for your continued support of Lindengate!
The first three months of the year have flown past! But we’ve made great progress – there are more people coming in to use the charity and even though it’s early days for everyone, we’ve had great feedback. And thanks to the very generous donations received, we’ve managed to get the deer and rabbit fence sorted and also make improvements to the site drainage – fingers crossed no more flooding!
We couldn’t have achieved this without support from the local community – here are just some of the local community groups who’ve helped us so far this year:
– Rotary Club of Wendover & District
– Wendover Evening WI
– Chiltern Society – WendoverWoods Conservation Group
– Chiltern Rangers
– Aylesbury Lions
– Vale Countryside Volunteers
– St Mary’s Church, Wendover
Thought you might be interested in the events we’re running over the next few months – take a look below for more information. And we’ve just had confirmation that the Mikron Theatre Company will be visiting us on the evening of FridayJuly 17th – get the date in your diary – we’ll get further details out to everyone, once the arrangements are all confirmed.
