Wed 8th May 20019 - The Riverside, Newport. GG # 784.

Terry's Photographs.

Mark points out the areas that needs our attention.
(It would have been much easier to show is the ones
 that didn't need work!)


The average "flower bed" before we arrived.


Yes - this is still at the Riverside - NOT the Amazon jungle.


This lot was reduced to chest height giving superb views 
of the river Medina.


More weed beds being tackled.




The usual hard work of "bag and drag".



It's starting to look better...



The view to the north...up the Medina.




The final sweep through and tidy-up.



This week we were continuing our campaign against weeds....down at The Riverside in Newport. On our previous visits, we had concentrated on the areas to the east of the buildings...this time it was to the west that had our attention. I think it is very apparent, from Terry's excellent photographs above, that the "flower" beds were in fact weed infested jungles..! Hopefully the majority of the initial work around the building is now complete and we will hopefully be returning soon to keep everything trimmed back and looking good. Fortunately, the over night rain finished with a downpour at around 9:30 and it remained dry throughout the entire session 👍. Once again, the catering staff did us proud by providing us with sausage and bacon rolls plus the usual hot drinks - thank you all very much.

The IoW GG AGM was held at the nearby Bargeman's Rest after the work session was completed.

Thanks for the photos Terry.
