Our next working weekend is the 26th and 27th of January where we are building the conservatory on the front of the lodge. We need your help with everything from building to passing tools and materials. Could you spare a few hours or the whole weekend? We’ll be starting at 9am on both days.
Can you help?

We’re ready to paint! Could you spare a day or a couple of hours next weekend (5th and 6th Jan) to help us paint the Newly refurbished rooms in the lodge? We’ll provide tea, coffee, squash and biscuits!
We’ve been hard at work over the last couple of days but we still need your help. If you’re at a loose end tomorrow then please come and give us a hand from 9am. There are suspended ceilings to install, painting to be done and tidying up. All welcome!
Due to a change in the plan we need to get all the walls boarded and ready for plastering asap so we need as much help as we can tomorrow. there will be a bacon sandwich at 9am if you let us know you're coming by the end of today...
We’ve been hard at work refurbishing the Lodge. If anybody fancies helping we’ll be back there on Thursday 27th, Friday 28th and Saturday 29th from 9am. We need people who can use a saw, use a tape measure, paint, make cups of tea, move boxes of materials or have any other diy skills.
If anybody is free tomorrow we have a work day in the Lodge from 9am. If you have any practical skills, can help move materials or are just good at making tea you would be very welcome!
