Members are also welcome for tea and cake regardless of whether they have children to bring.
Please contact the BHRA Chair, on chair@bathwickhill.info with the names and ages of children wishing to hunt for eggs, and a phone number in case of cancellation.

There will be parking and access restrictions on Bathwick Hill from 06:00 to 17:00 hrs on Sunday March 16th on Argyle St. Edward St., and Great Pulteney St. so the roundabout at the bottom of Bathwick hill will be closed for Access.

A community project to clear the view at the Sham Castle has been finalised for Thursday 13th March. Already many Bathwick locals have volunteered their time but everyone is welcome. The day will run from 10am until 4pm with volunteers invited to stay for the whole day, but able to drop in and leave when they chose. Although Cllr Coombes has organised this project, many thanks are due to BathNES landscapes department, the Cotswold Conservation Board SDF, BTC, the National Trust, the One World Society and the University of Bath Students’ Union.

AGM: 13th March, 7pm
Our AGM will be held at St Marys Church Hall, at the bottom of Bathwick Hill, on Thursday 13th March, at 7pm. Everyone on the Hill is most welcome.

Raffle tickets will be sold for our Easter Egg Hunt raffle; proceeds to Julian House.
