Our planning meeting went well and we have some great ideas for next
year. We've also got teachers from several schools visiting this week to
talk about taking class groups to the reserve, and a new volunteer
group, GoodGym, did lots of clearing-up work on Wednesday evening.
Our next open afternoon is Sunday 28th February, 2pm-4pm, at the
reserve. We're intending to finalise our event planning for this summer,
so if anyone has any ideas, please do come along (or if you can't make
it, email or message us with your thoughts or ideas). If you just want
to come and visit the reserve and have a cup of tea, that's fine too --
we'll have the fire going!

Self-guided school and group visits
Just a quick update to let you know that if you are (or know of) a local school or other group who wishes to visit us, we now have comprehensive self-guided visit information (including session and activity ideas) available online.
We are really keen to see as many people as possible make use of the reserve!

2016 Planning Meeting
All is quiet down at Galleywall Nature Reserve at the moment -- but
we're starting to think about events and activities to offer during
2016.
If you would like to help out, if you have any ideas, or if you're just
interested in finding out what's happening, please come along to City
Hope Church (121 Drummond Road, SE16 2JY) at 7 PM on Tuesday 19th
January. All are welcome!
If you would like to help out but can't make that date, please do email
us or get in touch on Facebook or Twitter.
Happy New Year!

Autumn Celebration
The rain held off last Sunday afternoon at Galleywall, though we had the awning and a gazebo up just in case! We got the kettle on, and Christine and Juliet brought cake and biscuits, as well as some marshmallows to
toast on the fire.
It's definitely autumn now with leaves falling, and the rain does mean that the pond is filling up again after getting quite low during the dry summer. Hopefully all the frogs have found somewhere safe to see out the
winter and will return to lay frogspawn in the spring!
The reserve won't be open in December or January, but our AGM is likely to be on the 19th January. All are welcome to attend in order to contribute ideas and energy for running the reserve. We're particularly looking for someone interested in permaculture, and individuals to plan our spring/summer 2016 events. Please do get in touch if you are interested.

Sun 15th Nov: Autumn Celebration!
After a fantastic fungi and foraging tour last month, join us again at Galleywall this coming Sunday (15th November) between 2 and 4pm for an Autumn Celebration. We'll have tea and cakes; as ever you can try out our Nature Trail and do some pond-dipping; and we'll do a bit of tidying up around the reserve as winter approaches.
The reserve won't be open in December and January, so this is your last chance for this year to come and enjoy our little bit of urban greenery. The weather is predicted to be mild so do come and join us.
