Stone Clearing
Posted yesterday on Youth forum - just for information and to help get the message to everyone:
Hi all
We are making reasonable progress on the stone clearing but having been up there last night, Geoff has over estimated how far we have come (stone blindness I think!!). There is AT LEAST two thirds of the track still to do.
Despite such a great turnout on the first day (20 people), the last couple of weekends have been difficult due to people's personal plans and only 4 or 5 people have turned up. Could I ask everyone to really make an effort over the next few weeks - even if you are only able to spare 30 minutes - we need to complete this ideally by the end of July in order to spray for weeds and then get ready for seed in August. Plus, after that school holidays and annual holidays will start and progress will be impacted. We also lose 10th of July to Biggleswade Grass Track.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to come along and take a share of the load - even if it is not in one of the organised slots, you just need a rake! Stewart W, Nigel and I have now all been up there on odd evenings and Sunday mornings and just done small extra bits so just ask yourself if you can do the same even if your weekends are a struggle.
It is a big task and while there are some parents who really have put in a good effort, it would be great to see everyone up there in the next few weeks.
So BE THERE Saturday and Sunday from 2-5 - whatever the length time you can give - and help us get the track ready and fit to ride for all the children.
Thanks
