Well done to all of the club's members - you truly epitomise everything good about village life. I applaud your devotion to the community and to the environment.I am looking forward to seeing some of you in the future (and helping you in some small way too!)

Calling all gardeners, allotment holders or anyone with 'green fingers' or a 'green mind'!

Do you bore your better half with tales of soil and seed-sowing? Do you nag the neighbours about their poor recycling habits? If this is you and you have a bit of time on your hands - then you might like to join a group of like-minded individuals that make up Suffolk Master Composters.

What are Master Composters?

Master Composters are community volunteers who in return for training and support, act as composting ambassadors in their local neighbourhood. MCs help raise awareness amongst the wider public of the benefits of composting, to encourage more people to compost at home and to support those who already participate in home composting to ensure that they are successful in their efforts. The aim is to help the public succesfully produce their own soil improvers, which will in turn help reduce the amount of organic waste going to landfill.

It is recognised that people’s attitudes and behaviour can be strongly influenced by other people around them, such as family, friends, neighbours or work colleagues and it is for this reason that Master Composter volunteers can provide a unique role in educating the public.

The first Suffolk Master Composter Foundation Training session is a 2-day training course being held at Thornham Field Centre at Thornham Magna near Eye in Suffolk, on Wednesday 31st October and Thursday 1st November between 9am and 4.30pm on the Wednesday and 10am and 4.30pm on Thursday.

The green bug on your photo gallery page looks like it is probably a speckled bush cricket. The bright green colour indecates that it a juvenile in a late instar stage (molt) or a freshly molted adult. It is a female, ovipositor at end of abdomem which is used to lay eggs in the ground. They are omnivors, eating other insects as well as plants. The long antenna tells you it is a bush cricket.

To all at GHGC. Great Site! Thanks for the link, favour returned by ourselves as you'll see.
Keep up the good work

I was most impressed with the Pumpkin video. Excellent work the producer of same. Much appreciated as it was a day I was unable to participate in but was able to enjoy ultimately as a result of a lot of effort on someone's part just sorry I missed out on the cakes! Many thanks.

After our visit, last evening I just had to have a look....Well done... a super and interesting site, showing how active and enthusiastic you all are. Great to be with last night and thank you for making us so welcome, even if you missed the 'moles'.
