Dunsden Green

  • Your starter for 7 at the big quiz

    It's not too late to join in with the fun of the first ever Dunsden Community Orchard quiz night. The event takes place tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 7.30 in the village hall.

    Prepare to pit your wits against the sabre-sharp intellectual elite of Dunsden and Binfield Heath (or should they not appear) enjoy a light supper, some fun brain-teasers and the chance of winning some stunning raffle prizes. Tickets for two for a show at the Mill at Sonning are on offer as well as dinner and an overnight stay for two at the luxurious French Horn Hotel. All this for the bargain price of £7! Eight teams are already taking part. You can either call Beth Timms for tickets now on 0118 946 1987 or just turn up (individually or as a team) on the night. Please forward this to friends who might be interested.

    All proceeds to Dunsden Community Orchard. Many thanks to all our generous supporters including Sally Hughes at the Mill at Sonning and Michael Emmanuel at the French Horn Hotel (raffle prize does not include drinks).

  • Join us!

    Thanks to the generosity of Richard Butler, Branch Manager at Travis Perkins, Playhatch we were able to re-instate access from Tagg Lane to the orchard last weekend. Travis Perkins donated two drainage pipes and have promised some fencing, so now we will be able to get a bowser into the orchard to prevent any more trees from dying. Volunteers will be needed to maintain the watering rota.

    Tree sponsorship is proving a big success - a big thank you to all that have supported us so far - and we are also inviting people to become members of the orchard. Just download the form available here.

    Most of the trees are thriving, some more trees have been planted, and a final batch is due in the autumn. We will soon be posting a new map of the orchard which will show which trees have already been sponsored.
