 History of the SpinneyWe continue to be grateful to our band of volunteers and new ones are always welcome - please contact Derek Brown on 842968 Latest News The last working party in December spread granite chippings into the boggy parts of the path around the spinney which has made it much easier and cleaner to walk after rain. We held our AGM on Wednesday, 7th September 2011 in the village hall. Eight committee members attended and there were three apologies. All Officers and Committee members agreed to continue for a further year. Roy Haynes, a non-member, was welcomed to the meeting and was prepared to join the committee. He was proposed and seconded and this was unanimously carried. In view of the state of sections of the footpath around the spinney, it was agreed to buy suitable material, known in the trade as MOT (granite chippings). This has been purchased and it is hoped to recruit a team to carry out the work. The motor mower, which was purchased (second hand) six years ago, has reached the end of its working life, although Roy has kindly nurtured the machine over the last year. lt was agreed that this be replaced and after consulting Browns of Daventry, a DR Strimmer on wheels has been purchased. This machine is ideal for the spinney terrain. We have discussed with Jenny Holman, Leader of Brington and Whilton Pre-school, as to whether they will be interested in taking over and looking after an area in the picnic/play area, to plant wild flower seeds and bulbs. Jenny welcomed this opportunity and it will of course add a valuable topic for the children’s education. Whilton Spinney Project Management Group
