event held on Saturday 14th July 2-4pm.
We were joined by Friends of the Earth and Kent Bat Group. The bat group helped us conduct a survey of our park in the evening, and we recorded 3 different species of bats! 
😁
A Roesels’ Bush Cricket – a species that’s expanding it’s range across the country.
The Big Lunch was held on Saturday 9th June, from 12-4pm.
The sun shone and we had a great day!
This is the weather where people will walk a long way for the nice safe slope in our park! Here’s some of our pics of this year’s snow days in our park!
And some more scenic pics:

There’s a special mention for the Baker Girls who really contributed to the fun, and Mick whose calling meant that all the dances were do-able!
We painted little bird boxes to go home, and hunted all over the field to see what bugs we could find!

Our events for 2017 will include our third Big Lunch in June, our third ‘Bug Day’ in July, a brand new summer picnic event in August and our second Havelock Hoedown. Now all we need is for the weather to be on our side in 2017 – we didn’t mind the rain really, but we have put in an early order for sunshine on these dates in 2017.
Our locals were not put off by the weather, we know how to have fun here, whether it rains or not!
