Weekend Away
at Ravenshill Wood, Worcs.

24-25 November 2001

Chris takes the joke about 'weapons' slightly too far...	Digging holes to mount the screen in front of the barn owl flight
Shaun slashes with gusto!	Tony, Cliodnha, Ed B, Ally and Caroline ready for some coppicing action
Chris and James starting the ditch for an overflow pipe	A pretty picture of the pond
James and Tim working hard	Something funny was clearly happening here
The fence builders refused to stop working	Gemma, Beth, Sue and Sasha share a can of Stella
A steamy shot of the girls in the kitchen! Note the use of a kettle to cook pasta...	"Who nicked the furniture?"
Ally makes an admirable effort to blow out the candles on her 2 square metre birthday cake!	Tim very close to being beaten by Alan's chocolate suicide cake
Tony cackles with glee as he punches an unsuspecting Ally	Siobhan sorts out the wood for fencing
Always time for a cheesy grin (even in t' rain)	Gemma models the latest in bowsaw technology
Beth looks forward to the work finishing!	The fencers were an odd bunch...

Lastly, here is an email from Trevor and Annette Smart:

Beth

Thanks for the email, we are glad you all enjoyed yourselves, we did.

Its always good to see you all, and the amount and standard of the work done is always impressive. You are all welcome to come and see us when ever you want, whether to work or to visit. Come and see us in the spring if you can and see the reserve in a different season.

If any of you want to get involved in any specific projects, then let us know. We have lots of things on our list e.g the discovery centre could be better used to inform and educate our visitors, our website is basic to say the least and surveys are needed on a multitude of subjects, from flowers to bugs.

I have tried to find the bow saw you lost, but without any luck. I have found a pair of work gloves.

Thanks again and look forward to seeing you all again soon
