Compton Dundon Tree Group

There was a discussion of interests and ideas which included: -

• Create a community orchard, and/or manage existing orchards.

• Create community woodland

• Village farming allotments

• Engaging residents to raise awareness

• Plant trees in selected places for future generations

• Be aware of legislation and responsibility for what is planted.

• Ask residents to suggest where special trees could be planted.

• The CD footpath group meets each month, has assisted with planting and has local knowledge.

• Ask residents to suggest anywhere trees could be planted

• Concern about planning applications for development on orchards

• Community walks around the village and environs to share knowledge

• Raise confidence in tree selection and planting

• A tree nursery could engage people and could supply trees

• The CD History group is developing and will have maps of the village

• Help with planting of commemorative trees

• Help to develop hedges

• Have a stall at village events to raise awareness.

The group agreed : -

 To meet monthly to start with and review what frequency suits.

 That we take it in turns to organise and chair meetings and other tasks.

To celebrate 10 years of A Cappella adventures, The Sons of Pitches are back on the road to bring you their ‘Best Bits’.

Expect some of your favourite tunes from the last decade of SoP shenanigans, including songs from their debut TV appearance on Gareth Malone’s Naked Choir and favourites from all 5 of their UK tours. There’ll be a selection of ridiculous skits that should probably have been left in 2017 and of course, their trademark improvised numbers that you’ll help to inspire.

Whether you’ve followed the boys on their journey or you’ve always thought A Cappella was a beach in Mexico, you’re in for a real treat with this show.
