Torridon’s Pond Looking as Good as Newt!
We would like to say a huge thank you to members of GoodGym, a local charitable running group (www.goodgym.org), for volunteering their time last Saturday 23 March to assist our gardener Shaha with the mammoth task of cleaning our school pond. We are extremely grateful for their support!
