*** Join us for Valley Conservation Society’s first summer picnic! ***
We would like to invite you to join us for our Summer Picnic, to be held in the grounds of The Manor at Hayle Place on
Saturday, July 12
This event replaces our regular summer barbecue this year.
Guests are invited to bring their own picnics, tables, chairs or rugs, for a community feast in the beautiful grounds of The Manor. Guests may also bring their own gazebos if they wish.
There will be a welcoming glass of Pimms for everyone and music from DJ Palvo.
The event runs from 4pm till 9pm.
Free teas and coffees will also be available, but guests may prefer to bring their own alcoholic beverages.
Tickets are on sale now at £5 each. (Children under 12 free).
The fee is to cover the cost of the DJ, portaloo hire and Pimms.
This is our first picnic event and we hope you will come along to support us.
Parking will be in the adjacent field at Hayle Park. You may drop off passengers and equipment by the entrance to the garden, but please do not park in the circular driveway which is reserved for Manor residents. No dogs, please.

Read about Valley Conservation Society’s Annual General Meeting
It was great to see so many VCS members and friends at our AGM on Saturday.
It has been a difficult few months for VCS, with the loss of long serving Chairman Bryn Cornwell. However, Bryn's spirit was with us; we remembered him as we reflected on the past year and looked forward to the future. He would be pleased to see the society continuing the conservation work he was so passionate about.
