Many Happy Returns!

Sunday, August 19th 2012

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Foxglove Covert being discovered, a summer BBQ took place this evening. The Field Centre was decked out with bunting and balloons and an incredible 80 people arrived to join in the celebrations. 

Bunting

Namik and Damon did a splendid job with the catering.

The bar!

In no time at all they cooked up a real feast!

The Compass Rose ceilidh band provided music and created a real party atmosphere.

Several dances were attempted (with mixed success)!

Terry from the band made a birthday cake for the reserve!

Birthday Cake

As can be seen here, the decorations were very delicate with amazing attention to detail (the chocolate sponge inside was delicious too)!

What a treat to be able to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy a meal with great company!

Volunteers from both 'Team Tuesday' and 'Team Thursday' enjoyed a drink together!

The children had a lovely time too.

Before the cake was cut, Tony thanked everyone for all their help and support.

Speech

Without volunteers and friends Foxglove would not be the special place that it is. Here's to the next 20 years!

Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is now OPEN

Monday 4th November 2024 |

The security gate and it's safety features are to be working, so we're reopening to the public.

However the intercom and remote gate opening system is currently non-functional. Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please check the FAQs for further information on entrance procedures.
