Gosh! the time just flies by at the moment and Avon Tyrrell remains very busy. We continue to enjoy visits from schools and currently we have Grange Community School and Northern Junior School staying, and everyone is getting on very well and having fun whilst experiencing the outdoors and learning from their experiences.
We also have three Princes Trust Teams on site staying in our self catering lodges and they are undertaking our 5 day programme.
Members of the Centre also recently partook in the Ringwood Carnival with a homemade float. This was led by Kathryn, our Customer Services Officer, and her willing family as well as other members of the Centre. We should say a big thank you to Kathryn’s husband Andy who kindly built the float in his own time; his help was very much appreciated. The reason for our entry in to the Carnival was to help to raise local awareness of Avon Tyrrell, as even after 60 years of operating Avon Tyrrell in the New Forest it is amazing how many people do not know we are here. We continue to try and improve local knowledge and inform everyone what a wonderful place Avon Tyrrell is, and that it should be used, but as a charity with limited resources this is not always as easy as we would like because of cost….. Any help or advice in this area is always welcome.
For those interested in the site improvements we are now working on, two projects, the completion of our Reed Bed for our sewage plant and finishing off our environmental pond by our strawbale classroom.
