Thank you to our valiant nine volunteers who braved a field of somme-like mud to glean cauliflowers.

Some 365kilo of cauliflowers and potatoes delivered to local food charities

Many thanks to T&S Bradley Farm for their continual support.

Excellent film last night on the wonderful Minster Marshes.

We were especially luck to have the film maker Connor Carruthers - and George Cooper frm Campaign to explain the wonders of the site and threats to it.

The film is a marvel and must see ..
