Our next meeting for committee members will be on Tuesday 5th July, 7.30pm at Hallhill Healthy Living Centre.

We’ll be discussing setting up of four working groups:

1. Gardens and shrubs
2. Dog poo bins and clean environment
3. Picnic benches, seats and bins
4. Exercise areas

A skills audit request and application for interest to join a working group will be sent to existing members.  If you would like to get involved then join us!

Following a successful inaugural AGM, The Friends of Winterfield is now a reality and the constitution is now in place.  We have a full complement of seven managment committee members and we’re very grateful to them for their support in volunteering.  Our next meeting will be in early July to look at our list of objectives and to consider possible projects for the coming year.

Thanks to Maree Johnston of East Lothian Council, Cllr Paul McLennan and Cllr Jacquie Bell for giving up their bank holiday evening.
