Latest Green Volunteers schedule

The latest schedule of works is now available for the team of Green Volunteers who, along with the Friends of Easebourne Parish, work tirelessly to keep our village tidy and looking it’s best.

The MGV meet every Tuesday and Saturday morning, and the link below will tell you where they’ll be next. Please consider joining them for an hour to lend a hand. There’s no long term commitment to join every week, but we’d always appreciate some extra help.

New Green Volunteers website!

The wonderful Midhurst Green Volunteers have launched a new website today containing the latest information about the planned sessions as well as information about the team and their history.

You can check it out here – Midhurst Green Voluteers – Helping to keep our town looking smart and tidy (midhurstgreenvolunteers.co.uk)

The team are also back in the village this coming Saturday 12th and Tuesday 15th, working along Dodsley Lane from Wheelbarrow Castle heading south.

More hands are always welcome and make easy work of the tasks ahead, so please have a look at your diary and if you can spare an hour on either of those days, grab a pair of gloves and come along! The team start around 8am and finish by 10am, but you can come anytime in between!

Please show your support for this amazing service – without them our village wouldn’t look anywhere near as lovely 🙂

Tomorrow, Saturday 11th and it’s Green Volunteer time!

The Midhurst Green Volunteers are back in the village tomorrow, Saturday 11th September, meeting from 8am at the corner of Dodsley Grove and Dodsley Lane, near the entrance to the Rotherfield Sports ground. The task will be to cut back the summers growth along High Path. The session is usually finished by 10.30.

Last week the lack of volunteers from the village was again disappointing, so sadly this could be the last time the volunteers tackle High Path. If as a village we can’t generate more help for them then we will need to rely on the annual cut from CDC. At times this might make the path quite difficult to use.

If you can spare a few hours to help ensure your village carries on looking it’s best, please come along and join in. All equipment is provided, just bring your own gloves!

For more information please visit www.midhurstgreenvolunteers.org.uk or email our parish clerk.

The Green Volunteers are in town again!

The Midhurst Green Volunteers are back in the village tomorrow, Saturday 4th September, meeting from 8am at the corner of Hollist Lane near Canada Grove and working on the footpath that starts at the top of Upperfield. If you join a little later then please go straight to the footpath! The session is usually finished by 10.30.

Last week the lack of volunteers from the village was really disappointing and it’s meant that unless we up our game and join in with this amazing group then we are unlikely to see as many, if any, sessions in Easebourne after the current schedule ends in December.

This would be a massive blow to the appearance of the village, as the volunteers keep areas including High Path, Easebourne Lane, Dodsley Lane, Wheelbarrow Castle and many more areas in-between looking as smart as possible. This is all work that would not be carried out by Chichester District Council as funding and staff cuts do not allow.

If you can spare a few hours to help ensure your village carries on looking it’s best, please come along and join in. All equipment is provided, just bring your own gloves!

For more information please visit www.midhurstgreenvolunteers.org.uk or email our parish clerk.

Picnic in the Park 2021

Easebourne Parish Picnic-in-the-Park
On a slightly overcast day, Easebourne Parish Council held the third community “Picnic-in-the-Park” event, bigger and even better than before, especially after the disappointment of not being able to hold the event last year. This popular and well attended social event was enjoyed by all whom attended and was supported by three musical sessions in the beautiful park Roundhouse from versatile local band, the B3s, led by Steve Ball and talented duo Ellie Baker and Tom Holder, both tremendous musicians.
The event was also supported by Easebourne scouts who provided hot drinks and bacon sandwiches, Deluca’s Ice Cream van, the Easebourne Primary School PTA who were selling pre-used school uniform, Birthday House residents selling knit-ware and knitted children’s toys and a stand manned by Friends of Easebourne Parish (FrEP) who were recruiting volunteers to assist with their litter-picking and other Parish green tidying duties.
Nick Haddock, the under 6s’ coach at Midhurst Rugby Club, held training sessions for youngsters. Additionally, there was a highly popular Dog Show run by David MacDonald-Lawson, where proud dog owners demonstrated their and their pooches skills competing for highly coveted rosettes.
The Parish Council gave out free soft drinks and answered parishioners questions.  Estimates indicate that the Picnic-in-the-Park was attended by around 300 local families. The event would not have been possible without the support of the Head of Easebourne Church of England Primary School, Johnny Culley and a host of willing councillors and other volunteers.
This event was an acclaimed success and will definitely feature as an annual community event well into the future.

Green Volunteers in July, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The ever energic Midhurst Volunteers are back in the village for the next 3 Saturdays, starting on the 17th July and as ever WE NEED YOUR HELP.

The task for the 17th is to cut back over hanging branches and tidy up Wheelbarrow Castle. We know this path is walked so often by so many villagers, en-route to the Park, going to school, the shop or the pub. So if you are one of the many who will appreciate a wider path and nicer walk, please come along to lend a hand! Meeting on the corner of Cowdray Road and Wheelbarrow Castle from 8.30am until 10am.

The following 2 Saturdays are to clear the upper section of High Path and the path from Hollist Lane to Budgenor Lodge – again, both well used routes. On these days the group will meet on the corner of Hollist Lane at 8.30 until 10am.

Please try to spare an hour to come along and help. As we’ve said before, this work would simply not happen without the volunteer team, many of whom don’t even live in Easebourne! It’s a fun and active way to start your weekend and your chance to do something really good for your community.

You don’t need to be an experienced gardener or bring your own tools. Everything is provided. Please show them some support and come along to lend a hand!

Tomorrow, Wheelbarrow Castle, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The amazing Midhurst Volunteers are back in Easebourne tomorrow, Saturday 19th June, once again tackling Wheelbarrow Castle! This often used route will be getting a trim, a tidy and a sweep.. and we’d love some extra pairs of hands.

Meeting in the school carpark, come along from 8am until around 10am. All equipment provided but please bring your own gloves. The forecast is for good weather and the team will be spread along the path, working at appropriate distances from each other.

The team are back in the village again on Tuesday 22nd to tackle the upper part of High Path – so if you can’t make it tomorrow, please try to join on Tuesday – better still, come along to both!

We’re incredibly lucky that this dedicated team of volunteers, most of whom don’t even live in the village, come back time and time again to make where we live a cleaner, tidier place. Please show them some support and come along to lend a hand – it’s a very productive and rewarding way to start your weekend!

Join the Green Volunteers this Saturday 27th March

The Green Volunteers are back in the village again this coming Saturday, 27th March – this time working from Egmont Road, south along Dodsley Lane clearing the paths heading towards the Midhurst roundabout.

Last week the team carried out a massive cut back and tidy up of the path north from Egmont Road, heading to the pedestrian crossing – over 2 tonnes of waste was cleared and with only 10 volunteers – AMAZING!

For this session we will be meeting on the corner of Egmont Road and Dodsley Lane from 8am on Saturday. The session will usually finish by 10.30am.

Please come along and lend a hand if you can.. many hands make light work.. but if you can’t lend a hand then the team always appreciate a cheerful hello and maybe a cake at the end of the session!
