On Tuesday morning a group of staff and pupils went for a walk around New Farm Loch, taking photos and notes on their impressions of NFL in 2009, what they liked, what they didn't like, what they'd like to change, etc. The photos will become part of a time-capsule which is being created as part of the 40th anniversary. The idea is for it to be hidden away somewhere and opened in another 40 years! Hopefully New Farm Loch residents will find it interesting in 2049!
More info on the time-capsule to follow.
There is a slide show of some photos on the right of this page.

the photos were terrible, New Farm Loch was made to look run down. It may be 40 and some areas are getting a bit tired, for want of a better word but could you not have waited a month and took the photos on a nicer day with all the blossoms out? Did you have to go for so many negative images?
Thanks for your comments about the photos -
The pupils - young residents of New Farm - took the photos as they walked around the area. They were drawn to litter, vandalism, run-down buildings etc because they have pride in their area and would like it to improve. There are also photos of the trees and wide-open spaces, which the pupils appreciate as positives.
While the pupils would like to see action to improve their area, they have been overwhelmingly positive about New Farm, showing real interest in its history and development. We will post other photos on this site, relating to pupils' activities.
