Martin’s ‘no-rain’ dance worked yet again on Sunday! Despite the doom-and-gloom forecasts on all the weather apps, Conway Rec escaped with just 28 warmish droplets and some bursts of something close to sunshine.

Thanks so much for everyone’s fabulous efforts in late April. The learning circle hole was a triumph! Przemek has since completed phase 1, and we can now turn our minds to the less strenuous (but equally challenging) design phase.

There was a fantastic turnout on both days for clearing, digging and planting in the dell (behind and around court no.5). The aim is to end up with something like a “managed wilderness”. The Enfield Conservation Volunteers were present and were invaluable, selfless and relentlessly hard-working, as always. The first day was mainly concerned with…
