Notice for Active Volunteers
With the snow laying throughout the day it was lovely to see our resident robins feeding. The contrast of their bright red chests on the white snow was really beautiful. However, for the volunteers who are out and about, I have Hi-viz vests, waterproof jackets, trousers and even snow shovels, if you would like anything, please let me know on 07395 906220
Take care and Stay safe
Thank you for your continuing support – BCG Committee: Andy, Jim, Linda, Liam, Joseph, Jonathan, Sharon, Kev and Graham 👍🏻
