WENT TO THE FAMILY DAY YESTERDAY (26/04/09). HAD A FANTASTIC DAY AND SO DID THE CHILDREN, SO MUCH SO AFTER LEAVING THE FUN DAY THE CHILDREN WHERE FAST ASLEEP AFTER 5 MINUTES OF TRAVELLING.THE ONLY THING THAT WAS A LITTLE OFF PUTTING WAS THE AMOUNT OF DOGS ALLOWED TO FOUL ON THE GRASS WHERE THE MAIN EVENTS WERE HELD. MOST PPL CLEARED THERE DOGGY DOO UP .BUT LEFT A MESS, MY DAUGHTER FELL OVER AND WAS LEFT IN A SMELLY MESS, LUCKILY I HAD BROUGHT A SPARE SET OF CLOTHING. WOULD IT NOT BE POSSIABLE TO STOP DOG OWNERS TAKING THERE DOGS INTO AREAS WHERE THE MAIN EVENTS ARE HELD, NOT NICE TO SETTLE DOWN ON A PICNIC BLANKET TO EAT YOUR FOOD AND A NICE STINK OF DOGGY DOO TO ENTER YOUR NOSTRILS.

Both acts for our summer concerts have now been announced and it proves to be a great year for music across the generations. Click onto the main Forestry Commission page for full details and costs.PLEASE NOTE THE FOREST PLAYS HOST TO A WIDE VARIETY OF EVENTS SO ITS A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY TRAIL CLOSURES BY MAILING THE OFFICE
