Please support the Friends of Wolds End Orchard, Chipping Campden, who are trying to save an old traditional orchard from development. For years it has been under threat of being turned into a car park, but now its fate may be turned into yet more up-market housing. The owners of the orchard are The Campden Society - a conservation group, believe it or not. They should be ashamed of themselves. FWEO are on Facebook and Twitter but I don't know how to do a link!!!
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Following the latest advice from the Government yesterday The Big Apple association has cancelled the forthcoming Blossomtime Celebration and Cider and Perry Trials due to be held on the 9th & 10th of May.
This is a fast moving situation so we cannot give any further information about any future events just yet. We will keep our website and Facebook pages updated with any changes that happen over the next few weeks when we hope, the situation will become clearer.
We will be back!
We’ve recently registered the Big Apple Association as a Community Benefit Society (CBS). Our AGM on 26th February unanimously agreed to dissolve the old Association and transfer all of its assets to the new Community Benefit Society. Our aims remain the same and our 'area of benefit' remains the seven parishes of the Marcle Ridge. You're unlikely to notice any difference in the events we run! But we can now invite people to become Members and Shareholders, who will own and control the Big Apple. If you support what we do and are aged 16 or over, then please join us!
To find out more click here www.bigapple.org.uk/about-us/ - you’ll find a link to the application form at the bottom of the page. You can become a Member and Shareholder of the new CBS for just £1.
The first member to sign up on the night was Big Apple volunteer Jake Herbst, seen receiving his share certificate from Treasurer Mary Fielding.
Cider and Perry Trails are open for entries, click here for more info!
