PROGRAMME FOR 2024

WORK DAYS

NATURE OF TASK SUBJECT TO CHANGE ACCORDING TO PRIORITIES

All work days are on Saturdays, normally the third of each month and excluding August and December, from 10.00 am to approximately 1.00 pm.  There are usually signs to our work site from the entrance in Beech Avenue but check for up to date information.  Wear suitable stout clothing and gloves and bring your own tools if you have them: shears, rake, bow saw, loppers etc.  We can provide them if you don't have your own.  If you become a member we'll notify you before each work day with more details or look at the Next Work Party page.
