The past month in Tetbury has been very busy for our group, with lots of maintenance and preparation works ready for what we hope will be a lovely spring and summer. However, I also wanted to acknowledge the awful world events taking place and we were pleased that we were able to support the Tetbury Area Churches Together Vigil for Ukraine at the start of March at The Market House – our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people and their families at this difficult time.
Our work over the last couple of months has included and thanks must go to – Will Cook for organising and making new Dam Boards for the pond at the Millennium Green and new Snow Boards for the roof of The Market House. Richard Cooper and volunteers from the Thirteen for tidying up the Millennium Green, Old Cattle Market and Brian’s Garden. Over the next month or so there is a programme of preparation in the Community Orchard, ready for a good crop of fruit later in the year.
We were also delighted to take part in the Winter Wanderland Community Event and thanks must go to Christine Berry and her team for organising such a lovely event during one of the darker months of the year.
