It is with great sadness that I have to announce that this project is coming to an end.
We started in 2009 and have enjoyed the use of the woods since then, having some great times together in the process.
John and Mary who own the woods, need to now use it for something else, not because we have done anything wrong, simply because of their retirement plans mean using the woods for something else, and I, and I am sure everyone else who has been involved in this over the years will be grateful for the opportunity they have given us down there.
So sadly its the end of an era, we have made great friends in doing this over the years and had some brilliant times together, but the end is nigh...
But what we need to do is make the most of what we have in the meantime...
and we will be hosting the normal Sunday meets in April, May, June and July,
culminating with a weekender over the August BH weekend 25th-28th August, with a special celebration closing party on the saturday night...(I will start event posts for all these very shorty)
I dont know what the future will bring, whether we will find another site and do it all again, or maybe do an annual "Woods-reloaded" at another venue...We will see...Any suggestions or leads on possible venues will be appreciated...
And this just leaves it really for me and Sally to say a huge thankyou...
To everyone who has been a part of this...
To everyone who has helped to make it what it is...
To everyone for respecting the venue and our values such that we could carry on for 7 years
And to John and Mary for entrusting us to do this....
Thank you ALL....
The first laning day I organised when we visited our new woods...and the beginning of our adventure...
