14 Dec 24 - Annual Autum Park Tidy (change of date)

 

Please note that due to adverse weather, this session has been postponed by a week, to Saturday 14 December.  Other details as before.

 

Winter is coming and most of the leaves have fallen.  Many people continue to visit the Rec through the colder months.  It's a great reassurance to our visitors to know that our paths are clear of mud, leaves, overhanging brambles and sometimes fallen branches.

 

Previous mass tidy-ups have been very effective, and great fun too! 

 

Do please join us on the new date of Saturday 14 December, any time between 10.30 - 1pm.   You definitely don't need to have green fingers, though stout gloves and sensible footwear are recommended.
