We’ll be meeting in the car park for 6pmish, starting at 6:15pm. If you arrive later just walk round the trail until you find […]

This was a Saturday afternoon meet. A group consisting of Pete, Tom, Simon, Mike and Anne moved bricks and rubble from the car park to locations near the East side of the pitch.

This was a Wednesday evening meet. We spent two hours moving gravel up onto Piper’s hill. This was stockpiled in various strategic locations ready to be used to surface the new section as soon as the weather turns wet (for new section see the map below weekend build report).
