Eaton Socon Pightle

... and you can meet many of the volunteers who have been hard at work planning, preparing the ground and planting. Maybe you'd like to join them on the regular work days?

Our 2023 AGM will be on Thursday 15th June, at St Mary's Church Hall, Eaton Socon, 7.45. Do come along, we'd love to see you and share our ongoing plans for our new land...

Everyone is welcome, and while we have some trowels and forks, if you can bring your own that will help us do more!

We're having a PLANTING DAY! Help us create the hedge along what will become McNish Wood, near Willow Bridge, on 30th April, between 10am-2pm.

@EatonsCA There will be a formal opening in December, but the bench is already available to be enjoyed!

And we'd also like to give thanks to @EatonsCA who have given us a grant to buy two silver birches to be planted either side of the bench.

We're delighted that the St Neots Initiative have provided a commemorative bench to celebrate the life of Sue Jarrett, one of our founding trustees. It is now installed and ready for you all to enjoy!

@Julia_Hayward @StNeotsHour We're drawing up plans for tree planting, new benches, and other ways to improve the biodiversity of the land, whilst keeping it open to the whole community to enjoy.

And now it's past 9pm but there's always time for your lovely photos - you know how much I love a good photo of our beautiful town! Share away! #StNeotsHour

Green spaces are good and they do good, for people and for planet. We must act now to protect them for good, because once lost a green space is lost forever. forbes.com/sites/jamiehai…

Which means... we have funds to give out as grants! If you have a project or group in the Eatons that could put £100-ish to good use, please do get in touch asap.

OK, so it's been a bad year for fundraising. But our textile bank is still helping us - please do keep feeding it your unwanted clothes, bedding, curtains, and anything else, every penny comes back to the community!

The Pightle Trust's AGM will be on Thursday --> 23rd Sept <--- at St Mary's church hall, Eaton Socon. All welcome and it will be great to see you!

Gah! Let's try that again... apologies for the confusion, a date change tied me in a knot...

Hope my husband doesn't start putting me first Matt Hancock style.

@StNeotsHour 1000! So did you get any balloons?

After 4 years of running this account, it looks like we're just 4 people away from finally making it 1,000 followers. I am aware that this will now make some jump ship just for giggles, but here's hoping the rest will ask for support. What happens when you hit 1000? #balloons

Some very atmospheric pictures, too, in the morning mist...

Thankyou to everyone who's been decorating our trees - they're looking lovely!
