Revised version...

I have noted the poll from members and I wanted to say, 'thank you' for taking the time to complete it. I agree that it would be nice to get together informally so I wanted to invite you to a very special and magical oasis in Coventry. I have been a couple of times as a member of the Warwickshire Trust.

There will be a 'Food, Farm & Beer Fesival' from 11am to 4pm and they will be hosting their own mini farmers market where you will be able to sample and buy locally farmed products from free range eggs, homemade sausages, fresh fruit and ice cream. They will also be a selection of locally brewed beer, ale and cider and some locally produced wine from vineyards in Warwickshire.

During the day, there wll be talks and demonstrations on how to grow your own organic vegetables, even in a window sill and guided walks including activities for anyone bringing kids along.

Non-members enter for £2 and members get in for £1. Children under 10 are free. Parking is totally free and there is no entry fee to just use the cafe and look round the visitors centre. Call the number provided, if you want to find out more, however. If some of you just want to meet for a drink/bit to eat, we can meet in the cafe at 1pm. If this is the case, let me know and I can provide my mobile number.

Look forward to seeing you.

    Brandon Marsh is a 200-acre nature reserve on the banks of the River Avon, near to Coventry. The site is a tranquil series of pools and wetlands, with nature trails and five bird hides. You could see migrating waders, breeding warblers or kingfisher, coot or moorhen.
