Ella's House

Real Nappy Week is being celebrated by Caithness firm Ella's House with the 10th Anniversary in 2006. The growth of a global phenomenon is being celebrated during the 10th annual Real Nappy Week from 24 to 30 April 2006. This Caithness firm has gone from strength to strength as more people realise the damage being done to the environment by disposable nappies. In addition the cost of disposables is significant and real nappies have a very long life. In just ten years the Week has become a firm fixture on the calendar and grown into an international event with hundreds of activities across the UK, Ireland and as far afield as New Zealand and Mexico. To find out more about Ella's House visit Ella's website.

HTAG Gardens Open Day

The Open Gardens Day is on Sunday, 25 June, but so far too few gardens have been offered to make it viable. We are looking for gardens in the Pewley Way, Harvey Road, Pewley Hill, Semaphore Road, Pewley Bank area. They do not have to be immaculate but it's obviously helpful if they contain things of interest or offer a good view. Please ring Jean on 573717 if you wouldn't mind members of HTAG visiting yours. The proceeds from this very popular annual event is used to finance various senior outings.

HTAG Road Reps Meeting

At the last Road Reps meeting it was decided that the next meeting should be on Tuesday, 6 June. For various reasons this is no longer convenient. Stephen will publish the new date asap. Copy for the summer newsletter should still be sent to me by Thursday, 25 May. You can submit your copy via this site.

Tyting Farm Update

Campaigners were delighted last Thursday 6th April by Guildford Borough Council's Executive decision to defer the sale of Tyting Farm pending investigation into other options. The Save Tyting Farm Campaign, which was started by a small group of local residents in January, vigorously opposes the sale. In a relatively short period of time their membership has grown to over 350 and they have managed to generate overwhelming support from the public and many environmental organisations to protect the agricultural landscape of the farm, which is in the Green Belt and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
