Prestwich Clough Forest Garden Open Day
Sunday 25th September 2016 12.00 - 4.00pm.
We are repeating this popular and successful event yet again. Please make a note in your diary and come along. As usual we would welcome help preparing and publicising - just offer your help to George or Debbie. We will circulate details of this year's theme nearer the time.
Volunteer needed
to organise Apple Day
George Heron is resigning his roles in IEPAD over the next few months. The new Apple Day organiser would work closely with George this Autumn and take full responsibility in 2017. Without a new organiser the event will not take place in 2016.
Apple Day itself is usually in late October, but planning work and collecting apples starts at the end of August.
We are also looking for people to fill two other roles in the immediate future:
Web content manager
Volunteer lists organiser; communication and publicity manager
We will need someone to take over the central secretarial roles later in the year.
A Note on Health Walks

In her absence there will be no more IEPAD Health Walks for the next few months.
Best wishes to Betty-Ann and thanks for her work on the Health Walks over the last couple of years.
