Friends of Hall Street Green

Just a quick update that due to the current lockdown in place in England, we will not able to go ahead with the Task Day that had been planned for tomorrow. Hope you are all keeping safe and well, and continuing to enjoy the green 

Due to COVID, the normal FROG AGM was not feasible this year, but the committee members have kindly agreed to continue their roles, and have completed a Chair's report (see the "Minutes" section of the website). 

We hope to reschedule some of the events we had planned this year to take place next year instead, such as a Tai Chi demonstration, an Art show, a talk on the Church, and a Summer games event. 

And before all that, we plan to get together (in a soci...

It is so wonderful to see people enjoying the green during lockdown! Unfortunately we weren't able to host our planned May picnic this weekend because of the pandemic, and whether we able to go ahead with any events this year remains unclear at the moment. But I am sure I am not alone in feeling grateful for this green space on our doorstep. Whether you are able to leave your house to enjoy a walk around the green, or you are appreciating it through the window from isolation or shielding, I h...

Thanks to those who helped with the green tidy up last Sunday, it is looking better already!

You might also spot a new addition to the green, a bug hotel. Please feel free to add to each of the 'floors' to make them cosy for the bugs, such as branches, twigs or bits of pipe. 

Finally, in these challenging times, we are glad that the green provides open space that everyone can enjoy (at an appropraite distance from each other of course!), especially for those in self-isolatio...

If you are free next Sunday (15th March) come and join us on the Green at 11am for our Spring tidy-up. We will collect any litter, do a little bit of weeding, and generally get the green looking ready for spring/summer. The more the merrier, so look forward to seeing you there!

Our first meeting of 2020 was spent thinking up more ways to enjoy the Green this year. So far we have plans for a bird talk, a picnic, an art exhibition (in the Drill Hall, but maybe we can include paintings of the Green!) and possibly even some Tai Chi. Our first event will be the annual Spring Tidy Up on the Green on Sunday 15th March at 11am, when we will do a litter pick, tidy up any borders, and generally keep the Green looking it's best. We would love to see you there, all welcome....

New officers were appointed at the AGM 2015.

November news

We celebrated our lottery win at the AGM (see minutes). We can now use the lottery and groundwork logos.

Work has started. The trees are being pruned, removed and replaced. This will be followed by landscaping and bulb planting in the new year.

We've also had a task day to tidy up the herb wheel. (It was less than a year ago that we planted it - Tarragon grows into a tall plant!) - see the photos

Minutes of latest (non AGM) meeting in minutes section

We've had to modify the plans and move the path. The benches, wild planting area, heriitage lamps and bins a...
