The 16th meeting was held on Wednesday, 18 January 2012.

The Friends have a number of guest speakers arranged for 2012, and the January meeting featured a slide show and talk from Sam Ovenden, Membership Development Officer with the RSPB. Sam gave a very interesting talk and we heard about the history of the RSPB, its policies, and lots of help and advice on how to provide a healthy, natural environment where birds will flourish. A question and answer session followed.

The meeting concluded with feedback on a number of maintenance issues and a further update on delivery timetable for the master plan.

The 15th meeting was held on Wednesday, 16 November 2011.

The main business was a report back from Anthony French, Cambridge City Council Open Space Officer, Horticulture, who had agreed to provide a report on where the Council are in delivering the master plan plus other items of interest.

Anthony covered funding for the master plan, works being looked at over the winter including opening up the former propagation centre area, tree planting along the Daws Lane side, and dredging the pond, plus various improvements and maintenance issues. Behind the scenes quite a lot has been going on. There were lots of questions from the audience which Anthony answered.
