Please be advised that on Sun Jan 13th 2013 we will doing a Workday at the Woods, one of two to make a start clearing it up ready for 2013's fun offroadin...
The autumn and winter have bought a few trees down that need clearing, and I going down there later to see what damage has been done by the highwinds vs sodden ground over the last few days. We missed a couple of workdays at the end of 2012 which have kinda meant that we are starting 2013 playing catchup a bit..but its easily doable with your support guys.
We will meet at 10am at my workshop...if you dont know where it is I will send you directions before the day..
Please bring with you any tools that you have that may be useful for clearing trees, digging and lunch/drinks as nowhere very near to get grub when you have worked up an appetite. Tea/coffee will be provided.
Don't worry if you cant bring your fronty, we find somewhere to park the lesser cars if not 4x4's so you can still join in if you want to.
Probably not a good idea to bring dogs to the work days, I am just concerned about them running around with chainsaws going and 4x4's moving around,
and children must be kept on a tight leash and near parents at all times as we don't want any accidents.
Workdays will not be capped at the moment as loads to do, and we will be grafting as a team to get work done...this will involve some delegation of tasks within the team to ensure we are both productive and safe...
Use of chainsaws will be restricted to logging or pruning areas as instructed...I don't want to risk accidents with inexperienced members felling trees and anything we cut has to be considered so as to retain the character of the woods and to represent best productivity.
This is gonna be hard graft, I can be a bit of a slave driver
We have lots to do, the recent heavy rain and high winds have bought down a fair few trees and debris which will need clearing, so we have got our work cut out...plus it would be good if we get a chance to "freshen" a few holes while the ground is soft.
Please note this is NOT a playday, and although plenty of 4x4 driving/working will probably be involved during the day, we are there to work to get the site ready for the next meet...
Anyone "outworked" by Sally will be on toilet emptying duty at the next weekender!!!!
Your safety is paramount, I must insist that anyone attending ensures that they stay a safe distance from any felling or chainsaw operations or moving vehicles...
Falling debris can be unpredictable in its direction or distance of fall, so please be very careful...
Please add your name to the list if you are coming to help with this, and thanks for your support guys...will be good to see you all, and with a bit of grafting we can get the site looking great for the next meet!!!
A great excuse to get your truck muddy whilst helping get our site ready for another years fun.
See you soon
