6 South Woodham Focus JOIN THE BIG SLEEP OUT! Local charity CHESS Homeless is asking the community of Essex to swap their duvet and grab a sleeping bag to experience a night out under the stars, by taking part in their Annual Sleep Out. This year’s event takes place on Friday 30th November from 7.30pm in the grounds of Chelmsford Cathedral. The charity is encouraging you, your friends, family and company to take on the challenge and help raise vital funds so they can continue supporting single homeless adults from Chelmsford and Essex. And if you can’t make the CHESS one then why not “Host Your Own Sleep Out” it’s so simple you can even hold it in your own back garden. Homeless is on the increase and can happen to anyone. CHESS believes that everyone should have a warm safe environment to stay, with meals, drinks and hygiene facilities along with the support they need to help them turn their lives around. Lindsay Hurrell, CHESS Fundraiser says “Our Annual Sleep Out Event by no means replicates what it’s like for someone who is homeless and sleeping rough. But it does give you an insight into what it’s like: the damp, the cold and the struggle to carry on with minimal sleep. With homelessness on the increase and many of those being young adults, we really need the support of the community to help raise funds, so we can continue to support single homeless adults from Essex”.

South Woodham Focus 7 South Woodham Focus Purleigh and District Gardeners’ Society At our September meeting we welcomed Deb Hart who came to talk about willow weaving. Deb started life as a horticulturalist at Writtle College and got involved in willow weaving whilst working there. She now weaves willow instillations and teaches willow weaving as a full time career. She has been fortunate to be asked to weave willow structures for show gardens at Chelsea and for schools and parks. She recently demonstrated at the Hyde Hall Design and Craft Fair. Deb’s talk introduced us to the varieties of willow that can be used for weaving and how these are grown and prepared. She followed this with a power point presentation which introduced us to a variety of willow instillations from around the worlds including some which were made from living willow. Deb then went on to demonstrate willow weaving and made a 4 foot high obelisk which she kindly donated to the raffle. collected, all woven from plant material, some which were antique and some modern - and which had originated from various parts of the world. This was an excellent and informative evening which was enjoyed by all the members. During the evening members were able to purchase plants which other members had brought along from their own gardens. Our next meeting will be held on Monday October 15th at 7.30pm in Purleigh Village Hall. Our speaker for the evening is Nick Dobson on the theme of ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Potting Shed’. This promises to be an amusing evening around the theme of gardening. Visitors are very welcome to join us for £2.00 for the evening.
