Wednesday 1st September Movie Night Jim / Nigel Our night of high jinx on the information superhighway has had to be cancelled as the YMCA has had their Internet connection severed! To compensate for any disappointment Jim and Nigel have offered to organise a trip to the cinema instead. Obviously we don't yet know what's on and when it starts, so please contact either Jim or Nigel nearer the time if you're interested. Wednesday 8th September Pub Night at the Green Man Drinkies at the Green Man in Howe Street (near Great Waltham). A lovely old pub and a chance to see how many have returned unscathed from the Poland trip. Beer and anecdotes, a good time guaranteed. Leaving Chelmsford towards Dunmow on A130, turn left at the last roundabout - sign board to the Green Man (grid ref 696148) Saturday/Sunday 11th/12th September Gardening and Heritage Open Day at Saffron Walden Hostel This open day is organised through English Heritage. All over the country fascinating historic houses not normally accessible to the public will be opening their doors. Saffron Walden Hostel is one of them! Dave Nichols, the YHA Operations Manager for the region will be at the hostel, which will give us the opportunity to really get the ball rolling with the garden project. We need 2 or 3 people each day (11-4 Sat, 11-2 Sun) to help show visitors around. We also hope to continue our work in the garden by levelling off the raised beds in preparation for grassing over. Soil rakes, forks, trowels and plenty of weeding required. There should also be the opportunity, for those interested, to take a look round the other properties in the town also taking part in the open day (I believe there are usually 3 or 4). For more information, and to register interest, please contact Jim. See also news and pictures of our project to transform the garden at Saffron Walden Youth Hostel Wednesday 15th September Committee Meeting In the Charles Peters Lounge at the YMCA from about 8.30pm. Come along and share your views on future events and activities.
