regional gathering for South Wales

Jan 10, 2016

Katie Hastings, RHC for South Wales at the time, organised a regional gathering in South Wales on Sunday 22nd November. She sent us these photos and told us about the day. Since then Katie (who is also a director of WWOOF UK so has plenty to do) has handed over South Wales to David Sears. Welcome David and we hope you enjoy being an RHC. 

We had a wonderful gathering yesterday at Lammas. There were 16 people there including myself and Holly (Cross, who is Organisational and Personal Administrator for WWOOF UK). 


We had a great chat about hosting and local WWOOFing, a wonderful shared lunch 

and an inspiring tour of Lammas. 

 
I have also agreed to show host Dan (Holly’s partner) and Debbie (Blaenffos Permaculture Market Garden) my own veg box scheme and help them to set up a cooperative of growers like the one I run in Mid Wales.

Lesley Gorski a WWOOFing legacy

Last year, we received the sombre news that long-standing WWOOFer Lesley Gorski had passed away. We were very saddened to hear this news as Lesley was well known by WWOOF staff, and had been one of the last remaining old-school members still using the...
