The Feoffees and Thirteen of Tetbury
May I start by wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and a wish that 2023 is kind to us all.
Maintenance work has continued on our community and open spaces over the winter months and following the planting the new hedgerow in Preston Park, Will Cook and his team of volunteers have planted 24 oak trees – 20 around the hedgerow and a further 4 throughout the Park.
In addition, we have planted two cherry trees on our land in The Chipping – one as a memorial to the Holborow family and the other to commemorate the work of the Trefoil Guild in Girlguiding – our thanks go to Thirteen Emeritus John Latter and to Feoffee Dave Norris for their work arranging this. Finally, Feoffee Jim Pearce and his volunteer team have completed a tidy up of The John Phillips Millennium Green and Market Place area – thank you to everyone involved.
Following my thanks in December’s article, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Feoffee and Thirteen members, along with EESI and Tetbury Plumbing for their support in the removal of the Christmas Trees and Market House lights in January, during such dreadful weather conditions.
I am pleased to advise that we have recently agreed a grant to the Girl Guide Unit in Tetbury, supporting 3 planned trips.
