A very busy afternoon for the Saturday Teams.

The 'Elite Strimming Team', ( Halo, Alfie, Harry No1, & Joe) under the watchful eye of Uncle Dennis continued moving, stone and other materials to the walling project, they also took delivery of a kindly donated ISB water tank, for our autumn project on collecting rain water (watch this space)
The team also took time out to clear some fallen trees.

The Mighty Mowing Team (Jack & Tyler) caught up with mowing afte the recent rains.

Yulia and the Environmental Gang ( Harry No2, Ema, Edward & Bobby) continued tidying up the Snake Path Garden.
The 'Goffers' William & Co do what Goffers do, goffer!

A quiet day in the woods, no sign of the Early Doors Team or the Morning Gang although after a forensic search there was evidence of some activity by someone, but who remains a mystery?

The Afternoon Crew fared a little better but still very light on numbers, that may have been down to heavy physical work required for today 😀

So Cat & Lee continued work on digging out and replacing the large stones foundations to the drystone wall project, and after all thier hard work we ticked all the boxes.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

One of our new apprentice wallers, Ema, she keeps disappearing?
Now you see her, now you don't!
Infact we thought she'd gone home twice!

Another busy Tuesday, and it was nice to see the Thursday Morning Gang (Janet & Julie) out & about in the Sensory Garden this morning.

Otherwise the Navvies ( Cat, Chris, Lee, Nigel, Colin, Harry & Ema )where out in force this afternoon working on extending the repaires to the drystone wall in Daffil Woods, although Colin, Nigel & Lee did do a detour to collect some outstanding rockery stone.

The 'Maintainance Team' ( Dennis & Fred) did some puncture repaires, but Dennis also did run a quick course for Fred on ' in the field' strimmer repaires!
'Heavens forbid😲!'

Another excellent Saturday turnout, so loads of tasks completed.

The Elite Strimming Team of (Halo, Bobby, Tyler, Harry No1 & Elliott )under the wing of Andy & Dennis after shifting the topsoil last week moved onto shifting the donated walling stone to our walling repairs project.
Chris William & Joe tidied up the topsoil heap from last week.

The Environmental Team (Edward, Ayesha, Harry No2 & Ema) lead by Amber & Yulia, topped up the Henge and re seeded the area with a range of wildflower seeds locally collected over over the last few weeks.
And the much needed rain this afternoon helped matters.

We welcomed young Ema to the Environmental Team she joined Harry No2 as our Churwell New Village contingent 😊

Also to Edward's mum for the kind donation of PPE although we are looking for an Extra Extra Extra Short one for Ema🤣🤣🤣🤣
