A group of volunteers from HBOS Building Society have agreed to repair and resurface the footpath at Reevy Mill Dam. Any one who wishes to join us on the day will be welcome, please contact the office to discuss arrangements.
We have been asked to return to the centre to reweave the willow domes that we constructed on the site in February 2008. This is a good opportunity to return to the site and find out how the structures have grown and learn about the management. I am planning for this to be a morning task, leave at 9.30 and return at 12.30.
Please ring the office to let me know if you are joining us.
