The Ruscombe Brook Action Group, Stroud Valleys Project and Water 21 shared a stall at the Fun Day today.
Photos: Displays on stalls which included pictures of clearing up Hamwell Leaze and plans for the brook - plus some other photos of the Fun Day.
Apart from handing out leaflets we had the opportunity to talk to many people - some also spent the time answering questions as part of our consultation about reed bed plans for Hamwell Leaze.
It was good to hear many people were already aware of the brook group and work - and also good to hear people's enthusiasm for starting work.Ismaila, the MSc student was on hand to answer questions and Julian Jones from Water 21 and Ivi from SVP plus RBAG volunteers Keith and myself - I thought there were too many of us but as the stall blew down several times in the winds we needed many hands plus at times there were larger groups of people under the tent asking questions - and of course we did need to escape a little to see the other stalls like the Sea Cadets, Credit Union, Crazy bikes, the fire service and much more - plus get tea and cake.
The music was also great - local sensation 'Smoothie' (see photo) blasted their great tunes across the playing fields - they were followed by Cuckoorow - who had played Randwick Wap and last night played a party in Mill Farm - great stuff as well.
Lastly a huge thank you to all organisers of the event - loads of work has gone into it - many thanks.
