Wed 12th June 2024 - Newclose Cricket Ground, Newport. GG # 985.

 Terry's Photographs.








Alison's Editorial.

This week we were at Newclose Cricket Ground with an old favourite - Himalayan balsam pulling. We’ve been visiting this site for a few years now and there’s still plenty to keep us busy. In the main, the HB is not in flower yet so it’s harder to find. However, we did find quite a few healthy stands of it, some quite mature plants. After tea break a small group dug up dock which was growing on the sloping bank to the side of the cricket pitch. The bank has been left uncut this year and the flowers and grasses are doing well, but dock is just too invasive. Refreshments were kindly supplied by the cricket club.

Many thanks to Alison for the text and Terry for the photographs.
