The Pound and Cemetery
The renovation work to the Pound and cemetery is due to take place at the end of March. The Wymeswold Garden Walkabout Committee has very kindly donated a bench to be installed in The Pound once the work has been completed. The Committee is also sponsoring an info rmation plaque which will outline the history of The Pound.
The Washdyke
Now that the weather is starting to improve we can also look forward to the installation of the two new pieces of equipment for the Trim Trail on the Washdyke, and plans for the Sundial are underway. The Washdyke committee is run by volunteers and they are currently compiling a list of people who may be able to help when larger jobs need doing such as tree planting, pruning or general maintenance of the area. If you feel that this is something you would be interested in doing please let me know and I will pass on your details.
