The next Work party at Abbey Meads lake is scheduled for Friday 14th March at 09:30.

The access to the West bank is still very muddy and cannot be driven on. The committee decided on the spot to reinstate the work party that was postponed in February, to clear the brambles and other vegetation alongside this track, a) to let the sun get to dry this out and b) to allow people to walk on the adjacent grass area. This work party is planned for this Friday 14th of March starting at 9:30 AM. Alan Viney is hiring a hedge cutter on a pole in order to cut the brambles at their rooting points and we need as many ‘rakers’ as possible to move the dead brambles into bonfire areas or if necessary down the bank. John T and myself are the first signed up rakers, but we need more people, so if you have time on this Friday morning please come along and help. You will need a rake and some gardening gloves. Even if you can only spend a short amount of time, please come along and help as many hands make light work. It is important that we get as much of the dead brambles cut as possible and this will only happen if the cut parts are raked away.
