Bulb planting at Battyeford Island

If you fancy an afternoon out in the sunshine, with vistas of the canal one way and the river to the other then join us this Friday afternoon at Battyeford Island.

Mirfield Community Partnership and the Canal and Rivers Trust will be planting daffodil bulbs, kindly donated by Knowle Park Nurseries, on Friday 30 October starting at 1.30 pm, at Battyeford Island, adjacent to HaPenny Bridge, Mirfield.

Your help is needed! Bring your pals.  If you cannot plant, you can always encourage and support.  Please wear stout shoes and protective gardening gloves.  Equipment will be provided but it would be great if you could come armed with trowels or bulb planters.

Tea, coffee and biscuits provided along with a warm welcome to all.

Improvements to Battyeford Island

A huge thank you for all the time, effort and good will that many people contributed towards the improvement to Battyeford Island last Friday morning.  It was a great effort and a great result.  Canal and Rivers Trust staff and Board worked alongside Mirfield Community Partnership, the Rotary Club, Skills Social Enterprise, Volunteers from the Huddersfield Broad Canal and local people responding to advertising.

We are bidding for further funds from charities and local business to continue our work.
