Easter Egg Hunt - a few photos

The Easter Egg Hunt was well attended by local children and their parents. Colin Evans organised the clues and awarded the eggs to all those who got all the answers correct.
Hope to see even more local people at our next event on Saturday 12th July!

Despite yet another bad weather forecast, members of Friends of MLG committee and a number of local residents and families turned out on a breezy morning last Saturday.
Colin Evans conducted a bird box building masterclass. Others set about cleaning the mosaic sundial, sweeping leaves to fill the newly installed composters and cleaned benches as well as creating habitat piles from fallen branches.
