PROGRAMME FOR 2025
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. This year the April work day is on the fourth Saturday to avoid the Easter period . While we don't normally have a work day in August we have allocated this to watering young tress if the weather is hot and dry. The assembly site varies according to the work we're doing so 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.
