Working Bee Sunday 5th September

I will add pics later. They got wiped before I could add them. We weeded today, mainly vetch, near the noticeboard and the large "Remnant Vegetation" sign, itself a remnant of previous installations.

In attendance were myself, Carol, Yvonne, Ruth, Malcolm and Damien. It was a mild morning after a wild night, there was no apparent tree damage in the reserve. Damien and I checked the fences and gates, they were still all intact. Still no sign of rabbits.

I took a couple of pics of the recently fenced foredune. I wish to use this as a before and after representation of how the dune can regenerate if it is given protection from pedestrian traffic.

In attendence were myself, Annette Stewart, Janet Bolitho, Carol & Yvonne Goudie, Anne Callaghan and Pat Grainger. Ben Piper turned up at 9pm having worked late but the meeting had just wrapped up.

Malcolm Cook who along with Ruth having recently joined our group, has agreed to take on the Treasurer's role. Michael Hutchinson our long standing reliable Treasurer has handed on the job.
