Solstice Walk in Gleadless Valley Woods 21st June 2008

It had rained all day, but about twenty five of us turned up for this leisurely, gentle guided walk, based on a route from the Gleadless Valley Wildlife Trust''s new leaflet marking sites of special interest in the area. The rain didn't penetrate the trees too much, and actually made a nice background pattering noise. We saw the site of the old Lees Hall Farmhouse, pond and orchard, and really did find some 'pearls' (mother of pearl shards), on Pearl Button Lane - this had been the route where carts tooks loads of mother of pearl to a factory to be made into buttons. We also walked through meadows that are cleared of grass annually to encourage wild flowers. Anyone interested in joining Gleadless Valley Wildlife Trust should contact Kev.

Cycle Picnic 4th May 2008

About twenty people came along despite unfavourable weather, including ten-twelve children, and some people who had not been involved in the Green Triangle before. The cycle ride started at the Millennium Park on Albert Road and went as far as Ecclesall Woods where there was picnicking:

Harvest Supper October 2007

We held a harvest supper in October, which forty people thoroughly enjoyed, with food, games, an apple press to produce our own delicious juice, a raffle and a bonfire. [The raffle raised £30: The community garden only wanted £20 and donated £10 to Sheffield Campaign against Climate Change. The wine and chutney sale for Oxfam raised about £30 too. (GT Email 22/10/08)]

Some of the produce that was raffled.	Yvone, Izzy, Kev and Lisa trying out the apple press
