A day that will live with us all for a long time to come, so let us pause for a moment of reflection, and think about those nearest and dearest to us, as well as those that have been and continue to be affected by dreadful threat that COVID 19 is to all our lives. It has been fun working on this 6th edition and we begin with an exciting feature that has come together by pure chance, it will run for a couple of editions of these updates. The aim is to celebrate the achievements of Donald Campbell, land and water speed record holder, also a local resident, who lived in Horley, Leatherhead and had close ties with Tilgate, he would have been 100 years old on the 23rd March 2021. To start the tribute to Bluebird K7 and Donald Campbell there is a fantastic true story contributed by Derek Palmer. Dabblers Post Bag - Letters to the Editor Hi Just read with interest the latest newsletter. As ever it is informative, funny and educational. I am amazed at the response the members are making to this, it just shows that we enjoy receiving information.

Site summary and current condition This site combines diverse semi-natural habitats with amenity areas. There are quite extensive areas of woodland (including some of ancient origin), scrub, wet grassland and fen vegetation and a large, shallow pond. Broadfield Brook runs along the southern edge of the site and there is a mature, mixed and probably ancient hedgerow along the northern boundary, adjacent to Crawley Avenue. The site has quite high levels of biodiversity, with a range of woodland and wetland birds and several species of butterflies recorded during the survey. The diverse flora of the site includes ancient woodland indicator species and a variety of wetland plants. The juxtaposition of intensively managed amenity grassland, an informal playground and formal sports pitches with areas of semi-natural habitat provides an excellent example of urban wildspace.
