Hi everyone. We will have a working bee this Saturday at the Heritage Centre, 9th May 9am to 12ish.
The toilet block is getting paint at last and there will be lots of assorted tasks trying to get the place shipshape.
You can also admire the paint job just started on the front wall!
Photo is of all the stuff in the hallway, (sorry Jo!)

The Tuesday group were all in good spirits yesterday, possibly fueled by copious chocolate biscuits and cuppas!
