Glen were asked. "Have you got your fern ticket?"

Tu, Apr 22, 2008Hello "All Friends", I have been asked by Friends Of the Ercall, to post this event.
The Bluebell Walk, through the Short Woods, on Sunday 27th April, 2008. 10.30 am Start - Duration 1 hour (Approx).
Meeting point for the walk is Steeraway Farm, Limekiln Lane, Wellington.
Stout Shoes or Boots needed, All are welcome.
A collection for the Telford Hospice will be made.
This is a chance for all those that love the beauty of the Bluebell woods, to come and see them as they are now, in their glory.
Should Planning permission for the Opencast mine be granted by the Council, you will be unable to access this area, for some considerable time. Perhaps they will never again look the way they do today, fix this memory in your mind.
Bring your family, enjoy the day, we suggest something to eat and drink, as no refreshments can be had on the walk.
The weather looks to be warming up, so we can only hope for a good turnout. Lets get together, to see and appreciate this beautiful part of our borough, and do some good for the Hospice as well.
Many thanks, Pat & Friends Of The Ercall.
Hello "All Friends", just an update on the OPencast Campaign, there is a Public Meeting at Lawley Church Hall, on Friday May2nd, 7-9pm. 2008.
Speakers will be Peter Lambert, and a full presentation, slides etc, from the Wildlife Trust side of the Opposition argument, and George Chancellor, regarding the cumalitive effects, and from the side of how to tackle Opposition argument.
The Friends of the Ercall will be hosting the evening, and we are most grateful to both speakers for giving up their time to address the public.
Refreshments will be available, and some parking, so we suggest come early to get a place near the hall.
Last months meeting was well attended, we hope that people will support this issue.
The Friends Of The Ercall Thank You.
