Chance for the current volunteers to have a chat and anyone else who is interested is welcome to come along. We will be happy to sign up any new volunteers / members on the day, there are lots of areas we need help with such as: the website, articles for newsletters, cemetery clean up days, research, administering the archives etc.

There will be tea and biscuits......

Going by some recent clean ups - by being there you may almost double the manpower we get!!

If things are too low, I'll bring a watering can - just have to wait a bit for them to reach your level!!!!

Froth, I usually put my clippers/secateurs, broom, trowel or spade and a bucket and gloves in the car when I go. You might not need them but better to be prepared :)
