AGM

Just a reminder that our AGM is on Friday 22 March at the Forest Row Community Centre. The AGM starts at 7.15pm (doors open at 7.00pm). This will be followed at 8.00pm with a talk by Lydia Baxter, Project Officer for the Wilder Ouse Project – details as per our Winter Newsletter. 

Spring Walk

This will take place in the morning of Saturday 27 April – 9.15am – 12.45pm – we are hoping that the bluebells will be at their best by then (and it has stopped raining!). No need to book – just turn up on the day. Further details will be in our Spring Newsletter to be issued in mid April.

Subscriptions

Many thanks to those of you who have renewed their membership with the Friends for another year. For those who have not yet renewed – if we could give you a gentle nudge please? Membership is still just £3 per person. Remember that our Bank account changed in January this year – payment details are as per my Membership Renewal e-mail to you of 15 January. If you cannot locate this email please let me know and I will resend. I will be at the AGM, so I will be happy to receive cash or a cheque on the night if that is more convenient for you. Thank you.
