Dear Resident

I am writing on behalf of the Association to invite you to become a member. If you feel that this project is worthwhile and is an important addition to the Fox Corner environment and if you support the Association's objectives, why not come and join us? New members of all ages are always welcome and membership is free - see attached form.

It has been another relatively quiet year in terms of work on site but we are planning to do some more improvements in the woodland area to improve the path and the access point over the bund. For this, we have been fortunate to receive funding from Cllr Mike Nevins' County Council allocation for local projects in his ward and this work will be done in early 2008. Visits by groups of school children, cub scouts and brownies, not to mention families and individuals continue to increase which is very gratifying. Our website (www.foxcornerwildlife.com) receives an encouraging number of 'hits' and our colour leaflet is particularly popular in local libraries. A good thing that that we ordered 5000 in the initial print run! We are very fortunate to have the skills of Carolyn and Chris Guest who keep the website updated on a regular basis and Nigel Emmerson whose photographs bring the site to life as the seasons change.

With all good wishes and thanks for your support.

Yours sincerely
Catherine Cobley
Chairman
