Ground Clearance Work Party
Friday 25th September, 9,30am – 4.30pm
Work is finally starting to happen on the Allotments at Dobson Lane! Action21 needs your help, in clearing the brambles and debris on site – this is in preparation for getting the land ploughed and then plotted into allotments.
Please come along to asssist staff, directors and other volunteers, and you can also register your interest in an allotment on the day. It should be a fun day and a good chance to find out about the vision for the allotment development.
Hot drinks will be available throughout the day and a lunch for those who volunteer for the whole day. Please wear old work clothes with long sleeves, long trousers and sturdy footwear. If you have tools such as loppers, rakes and gloves then please bring these along too.
Please note that the allotment site is right at the end of Dobson Lane, adjacent to the cemetery. If you have any questions about the day, please contact Louise Male, the project manager for the allotment restoration (and Canalside member!), on 01926 456076 or louise@action21.co.uk
