We arrived before the carnival started to help with general setting up and to set up our Hook-A-Duck stall.

We were raising awareness of the community volunteer group that regularly litter pick and have restored the pond to try and recruit more volunteers.

It was a busy day with lots of youngsters keen to try and hook a prize-winning duck to win different size cups of sweets.

There were lots of interesting stalls to look at, animals to pet and feed, donkey rides, owls to hold and feed, Punch and Judy, a classic car show, fairground rides and music and entertainment.

As it's the eve before Cippenham Carnival and Classic Car Show, a subgroup of the organising committee headed over to the park for a litter pick ready for the crowds arriving tomorrow.

Lovely weather this morning with a full house of volunteers, what more could we ask for!

Manjit was Run Director today and Sut was Tail Walker.

We always need volunteers for our weekly event, if you can spare an hour on Sunday come down and see what its all about.

Have a lovely Sunday

Mick and Sheila joined a regular workparty at Haymill Valley, run by the local wildlife trust. After the safety briefing we loaded up with tools and set off for the spot where we had finished last month. Our task was to continue clearing the brambles and other plants invading the path. Armed with hand-scythes and loppers we attacked the invaders, sometimes also using a hoe to continue Jen's mission to clear the grass from the paths. Luckily we were in the shade of the trees most of the time, but managed to stay hydrated with water and a tea-break with the traditional fruit cake

A lovely morning spent promoting Goodgym Slough at the Slough Voluntary Sector fair

Great to speak to new potential volunteers and connect with other groups

Two volunteers joined The Langley Park Ranger team to take part in a spot of conservation. Today we were pulling up the weed ragwort to protect the horses that use the park and then we moved on to pull up the bracken which was threatening native species of oak sapling. Another interesting morning with the friendly, knowledgeable rangers helping to conserve the park for the future.
