Today was Apple Day, run by the Carbon Cutters, at South Abingdon’s Children’s Centre, next to Cadecott School.

In attendance was the Wild Waste Bus with lots of information on recycling and energy conservation.

There was a chance to try your hand at archery, and if you are interested in taking up this sport email chris_lynn.wilson at virgin.net who is running classes (Tuesday morning at Wootton Community Centre, Thursday morning at Radley Village Hall).

There were the first chance, for me at least, to see the plans for the proposed “Forest School” area which carbon cutters are helping to design and implement in the area of school grounds surrounded by fences. The next stage is to dig out the rather rocky ground to plant a hedge. Funds are needed to make this happen.

The area behind this stall is already underway and used as an area for children to explore, move logs about, and find wildlife.

The Mayor of Abingdon visited and met children, and grown-ups.

There were also lots of apples and related activities.
