Lambs Meeting (Mayfield project)
11th April 2014
OPEN MEETING FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS
AT THE ROYAL OAK, WINEHAM
MONDAY, 28th APRIL from 7pm
Dear LAMBS supporter,
Please help our dedicated team!
It is now nearly six months since our seven mile yellow ribbon and during that time the LAMBS campaign has grown into a formidable fighting force.
HOWEVER, we have now reached the point at which our existing team is no longer large enough to continue this progression… and we need your help!
We need to increase our ranks in order to raise more money and to raise the campaign to the next level.
We are holding an open meeting for anyone who is interested in assisting us with our fund raising and/or becoming more involved in LAMBS. We are very keen to meet anyone who can offer any specific expertise which could help in the campaign. The kind of skills we need include: fund raising, legal, planning, financial, administrative, printing/publication etc…
If you have no specific expertise in these areas, but have some spare time then please still come along – we also need people who are prepared to write letters, deliver leaflets and man stalls at local events.
Please join us from 7pm on Monday, 28th April at The Royal Oak, Wineham. We would be grateful if you could let us know by email if you are coming to allow us to cater for numbers.
If you are interested in helping us but are unable to attend the meeting please email us with your telephone number and we will get back to you as soon as possible – lambsorg@gmail.com
This expansion is vital to the increasing success of LAMBS so please help if you can.
Thank you
LAMBS

Illegal off-Roading
Call 101 to help stop illegal off-roading in the countryside
People witnessing illegal or anti-social off-road driving on paths in the countryside are being called on to report it to the police using the new 101 phone number.
Sussex Pathwatch is a special service set up to help protect the safety of everyone using rights-of-way, fields and woodland to prevent the damage that illegal offroading can cause. A similar service called Countrywatch has been set up in Hampshire. Anyone can report an offence by calling 101 or emailing contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk in Sussex and countrywatch@hampshire.pnn.police.uk in Hampshire.
Angela Ward, ranger for the South Downs National Park, said:
“Most people driving off-road do so legally and with consideration for other people. Unfortunately there are a small minority driving illegally. They put everyone’s safety at risk, give legal drivers a bad name and cause damage to the countryside.
“That’s why we’re working with the Police and local authorities on this scheme. If illegal off-roading isn’t reported then the police can’t take any action.”
Just one example of Pathwatch success was in a case of illegal off-road motorcycling on a Site of Special Scientific interest near Small Dole in West Sussex. The site, which holds three nationally rare habitats and supports a rich community of rare butterflies and moths, was blighted by off-road motorcyclists who had even brought in equipment to dig tracks. Following calls from the public, Sussex Police were able to catch them in the act and serve notice – meaning that if they reoffend in the next 12 months their vehicle will be impounded and possibly crushed. This led to the activity stopping.
Angela added:
“Off-roading can be great fun so if you want advice on how to do it legally speak to the Land Access and Recreation Association, the Trials Rider Fellowship or ask us on Twitter @SussexPathwatch or Facebook.”
