This month saw the main Pleasley Pit Open Day held on the 6th and 7th of the month.
Despite battling with the inclement weather, we had a lovely weekend and it saw the culmination of our Photographic Competition.
We got a lot of interest in the Group and the Site and hopefully this will help with promotion of Pleasley Pit Nature Site as well as the Group and our activities.
