The TMAEG committee has drawn up an exciting events programme for 2013. This is a combination of opportunities for practical environmental conservation, visits and social events. As we become better known, our membership – which currently stands at 140 – continues to grow and, in response, we are developing our programme, hopefully to provide something for everyone.
For details, please view the Events page of this website.
On environmental conservation, we are building upon the successes of last year. As one area of emphasis, TMAEG will continue to work on the opening up of that hidden feature in TMA, the Ash Brook, initially from the Stone Hill pond end to the play area in the Local Park. A new feature will be the planting up of the newly revealed banks and margins of the Brook with primroses, cowslips and other native wildflower species.
Open Gardens
As another innovation, we plan to complement work on public land – the public realm – with an opportunity for residents to show off their own gardening efforts under an Open Gardens Scheme; this is to be held on Saturday July 6 in conjunction with the Two Mile Ash Celebration. Contact Pavla on 561365 for further information.
Visits and social events
On Wednesday 6th March we have scheduled a visit to the Materials Recycling Facility in Old Wolverton to follow what happens to those pink sacks once they have left our homes. This is a truly fascinating experience in which we will view the very latest in recycling technology (March 6).
In the autumn, we plan two celebration events; the first will present our achievements to date (combined with the AGM) and the second will be an end of year meal at a local restaurant – watch this space!
It is likely that additional events will be added in due course.
Please keep a close watch on this web site – see both ‘Latest News’ and ‘Events’.
