Friends of Ashby Pond - The 1st Chapter
20 October 2011 by Paul Rhoades
Regulars will know that some time ago I helped set up the conservation group "Friends of Ashby Pond", and I'll be honest, while I now take a none executive roll within that group, it has become very time consuming.Things have really stepped up over the last week, and I've attended several meetings with fellow members of the group involving the leader of the council and senior environmental officers.
I'm pleased to say that we are now making significant progress, and hopefully by the time the meeting comes round next Tuesday (25th, 6:30 at the Beckwood pub) that the council will have taken on board some of our suggestions and will have a proposal which the group will find appealing.
This Saturday we've had a pitch at the local Antiques Fayer organised by the Rotary club donated, so not having any antiques to sell, I've spent the majority of today writing and printing a short ebook called "Friends of Ashby Pond - Our Story, Chapter 1"
It's available to download from here:
Please have a read, I'll be handing out a printed version to members of the public on Saturday at the Berkley between 08:00 and 13:00 if you have an interest in the pond, please, pop along, say hello and give out a few leaflets.

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
