Summer 14 Update Including Karaoke!

All the living roofs at the Centre are looking lush and verdant after spring rainfall and sunshine:

 

Roundhouse roof

 

Recycling Centre Roof

 

 

Dean Garden Room roof

 

As well as looking good they provide habitats and food for insects and help with retaining storm run off

The willow sculptures above the Tunnel System are also bushing well since planting in January.

 

We have installed a new sliding and concertinaing wall in the Dean Garden Room that separates the end of the building into a separate meeting room. This can then be opened back to create a larger space.

 

We  have also now equipped the main room with disco and Karaoke equipment for use by groups which is proving popular! 



Cave Rescue Training comes to DFSC

Ian Healey, the Centre Manager for DFSC, is also the Training Coordinator for the Gloucestershire Cave Rescue Group (GCRG). On the 1st June he organised a GCRG Training Day based at DFSC utilising the Dean Garden Room and grounds and making good use of the Climbing Tower and Tunnels System.

 

Interesting to know we can manoeuvre a stretcher in the tunnels!
