WHAT SAD NEWS we had last week with the death of Bill Lock. His funeral took place just after the Memorial Service for his wife, Audrey Lock. This sad joint weekend put a whole new aspect on the Open Gardens in aid of Audrey's favourite charities for which she played a big part, and which Bill frequently added helping hands.

MORE MOTH TRAPPING next Friday, July 22 on the Local Nature Reserve so phone Frank on 01494 672310 for the time. Also next weekend at the reserve but on Saturday is an Open Day from 11am till 4pm with varied activities at both. This Sunday there will be a walk from 2.30pm till 4.30pm to view summer flora including orchids and helleborines.
