Members will have a 10-week extension from the date of expiry.
Thank you once again for your continued support and patience, the weather is due to be nice in time for the opening. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Grass snakes are completely harmless to humans and are very shy. They feed on amphibians, small mammals and fish and can live for 15 to 25 years!
They can be seen swimming in the canal, along ditches or in Walkway Pond.
