Autumn Renovation

Successfully carried out by Smudger and his team yesterday.

Smudger leads the way

HX in child labour scandal...

Many thanks to all those who participated: especially Smudger and Shifty for completing the difficult task of scarifying the square the week before-and to the new recruits to the loaming team: an injury free (!) Vikram...and Felicity & Alex.

Post-season maintenance

[The Grounds Commissar writes]

It's that time of year where we need to do some post-season maintenance on the Arbo square. This involves spreading 80 x 20 kg bags of loam over the square. This year, there is an added complication, because the loam has been delivered to Peffermill and not Arbo. Therefore we need:

1) People with cars (and even better, trailers) to transport the bags up to Arbo.
2) Volunteers to carry the loam to the Arbo square and spread it.

Weather permitting, we're want to do this on Saturday afternoon, with the bags of loam being picked at Peffermill from 12.00 onwards. Depending on reasonable numbers, we should be able to transport the material up to Arbo by 1.00, with the loam spreading finished about 4.00.

This is an important job. The Arbo square has improved greatly in recent years and we want to carry on that improvement. So, if you can spare an hour or two on Saturday, please do this important thing for the club. If, due to bad weather, the operation is cancelled, an all points e mail will be sent out.

Don't leave it to others, get stuck in.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday,

Smudger
Grounds Commissar.

Succesful Renovation

Under the supervision of our Facilities Commissar (Smudger), our Autumn Renovation was completed successfully on Saturday. The superb weather made things easier than in previous years.

The square looks in good shape and - with further efforts in April - it should (especially with a dry summer....) play well next season.

Thanks to all those who helped: Mr Admin, The Pres, Coco, Andy Q, (plus Robert and Michael) plus Spick on the container roof, and Mike N transporting loam.

PS If anyone's looking for some nice material for composting, there's a big pile of material in the South West corner of the ground (where we had our infamous 'unsafe' bonfire a few years ago).
