Sheldon and Elaine today

A ridiculously amount of rubbish was picked up at the top of the Rec at the side of the steps

Work done at the side of the path at the Blackwood Road entrance. Branches were trimmed and a general clearance made. We are doing our best to make the area tidy ahead of the annual Lantern parade.

We hope to see lots of you next Saturday

Late post but Sheldon , Jackie and Clare were out yesterday at the Riverside and the Rose and Bowl. Jackie was very brave after accidentally stabbing herself but in true form she carried on without a fuss! A good job done. We will have more sessions before our lantern parade next month
