PROGRAMME FOR 2026

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.   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 (see the laminated map on the green room for where we are, if you are late arrival!)  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.
