Today Adel Church hosted a Green Fair in the churchyard between 12 noon and three pm. The aim of the event was to gather people together and raise awareness of environmental issues and local organisations working in that sector.
So three members of your committee took a stroll from Alwoodley through Adel Woods to put up and man a stall in the churchyard to promote Friends of Adel Woods. It was a lovely sunny day and we wisely chose a shady spot under a tree. The sun got very hot in the afternoon!
The event was well-attended and we enjoyed interesting conversations with many people, some new and some familiar. We also managed to sign up some more people for our mailing list.
The historic church was open to visitors and each of us had a tour.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the day at the Green Fair, ending the day with a gentle stroll back to Alwoodley through the woods..
ABOUT FRIENDS OF ADEL WOODS
We hope that you have enjoyed reading about our activities and would be delighted if you would like to join us.
Friends of Adel Woods were formed in 2009 to help maintain Adel Woods and encourage people to enjoy them. We meet one weekend morning a month to carry out various jobs or ”work parties”, and we also put on educational events such as bat walks, fungal forays and birdsong walks.
We are a very friendly group and welcome new members who want to help preserve our special woods, enjoy fresh air and exercise in the woods, and make new friends. If you would like to take part in our activities, keep an eye on our Home Page and come along to one of our work parties.
