From Nicky Bailey, (Life on the Edge team) to the Women’s Conservation Group

 Hi all, I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who came out last week – we managed to get so much so much done and hopefully it will have made a big difference to the little hedge trees when they got that much-needed soak on Saturday! And special thanks to Yvonne ( and her husband!) for providing the hot water – a task with no tea break would’ve been a travesty 😊

 

The next task will be on Thursday 28^th May. We will be heading over to Man Sands to do a bee walk, this is a short and fairly simple bee survey, looking for what is out and about at that time, but we will also make sure to record other things we find flying and buzzing around!  

 

This activity is aimed at complete beginners and we will be joined by our Conservation trainee, Mike, who is studying for an MSc in entomology and leads our Friday volunteer surveys. He is a whizz at all things insects, eager to share his passion and will help us to identify what we find along the way!

 

If you need a pick up the bus will be at Brixham no.12 stop in the town centre ( near the car park) at 1.10pm, or meet at Man sands car park at 1.30pm. You don’t need to bring anything, just clothes for the weather and some walking boots or shoes.

 

If you would like to come but haven’t yet booked – there are still places available – just email us at lote@southdevon-nl.org.uk

 

We hope to see you soon!

 

Nicky

Vigilance of Brixham

 Several members have been overheard saying that they would like a trip on the Vigilance! Well! It would appear that now is your moment to book! Go to their website for all of the details! https://www.vigilanceofbrixham.co.uk/

Cribbage Fun!

 Come and join in with us at cribbage on Wednesday at Brixham Rugby Club 2pm. You can see how much fun it is!

Beginners welcome as we will teach you. If you like playing cards you'll love crib.

Editor’s note: This is entirely due to the skill of the cribbage player. No luck at all.
