Community Sunday March 2015

Our latest Community Sunday was our most successful to date. Many thanks to all those who turned up.  With well over a dozen willing helpers we made light work of:

  • Trimming the tree branches along the site’s Southern boundary
  • de-littering and removing fallen branches over the site
  • digging over the area set aside for primary school visits in the future
  • collecting waste materials for the up-coming bonfire.

With the work out of the way in record time there was plenty opportunity to enjoy the coffee and cake session at the bothy.

A date for your diary: the next scheduled Community Sunday will be on 19 April. The more the merrier!

Community Sunday in March

By

On February 15, 2015

In Dates, Events

The first Community Sunday for 2015 is scheduled for March 15 and we plan a communal bonfire on that day – if the weather gods permit.  Other activities may include helping with a general Spring Clean of the site and preparation of the intended plot for youngsters to use.

If you have materials on your plot suitable for burning on the bonfire please bring them along on the day or drop them off at the top of the site in the open area next to the Deeside Line.  Please do not leave materials unsuitable for a bonfire.

Kickoff with be at 11.00am as usual and there will be coffee and cake at the Bothy for all volunteers at the end – say at 12.30.

Time to get buzzing!
