Coffee Morning Prep

Wednesday, November 7th 2018

Wednesdays before Thursdays Coffee Mornings are always busy. Donations stored in the bunk room over the last couple of weeks were carried into the Activity Room and sorted into 'tables'. The Christmas table was checked and repacked. If you are looking for Christmas pressies then please visit our table.

Christmas Table Goodies

Although late autumn there is also a Gardening table with bulbs and plants.

The tombola and raffle were organised, not forgetting the raffle tickets.

Cakes had been baked and were neatly placed together.

Preparation for the Coffee Morning

When it was all sorted and packed we did a double check to make sure that we had not forgetten anything. We realised that it would be helpful if we had some tea and coffee!

Thank you very much to the volunteers who helped this morning. Your contribution is really appreciated. Thank you also to everyone who has made donations and baked cakes.

If you would like to come to our Coffee Morning it is held at Richmond Town Hall from 9 till 12. A warm welcome will await you.

Access to the Reserve: Closed Weds 16th October ONLY, reopens Thurs 17th

Friday 20th September 2024 |

Please note: the reserve is closed on Wednesday 16th October. Regular opening as described below will resume on Thursday 17th.

We are glad to announce that Foxglove Covert is reopening to the general public on Monday 7th October 2024.

A partial fix of the Foxglove Covert access gate has ensured that the safety features (sensors, emergency stop buttons) are now functional. This will allow safe access through the gate.

Unfortunately, the intercom and remote opening system by which the Guardroom normally opens the gate for entry and exit to the reserve is still inoperable. We do not have a timeframe for when this will be repaired.

Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued in exchange for photo ID (driving licence/passport) to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please see below for organised events. Booking is essential, as attendees will be contacted with access arrangements ahead of the events.

If you are part of an organised group and would like to arrange a visit to the reserve, please contact reserve staff.
