Delamere working weekend

[Goose]

Sorry it has took a while to get back to people on this one, but I have a date!
7th,8th and 9th of September is a little later than ideal, but is the first quiet weekend at the site. It will be basically the same as a normal meet but we will offer our services to do what needs doing, this will be jobs such as ditch cleaning and brush clearing, but it will still leave us plenty of social time! If anyone has "special skills" that might be useful(chainsaw LICENCE for example), post up or drop me a PM, I will let them know but it will all depend on the jobs that are needed done.
For people that weren't at the last meet during discussions people thought it might be a good idea to put something back and give a bit of their time to helping out at the scout site we have been using for the NW meets. The site is run by volounteers in the main and they have been really accomodating when we have held meets there. Plus it was an excuse to have another meet!
I am using the site on Wednesday so I will have a word with the warden to sort out details, and then let people know what they are letting themselves in for!

Thanks in advance for everyones help, from me(as a Cheshire Scouter) and on behalf of the site team.

PS, Don't forget about Matts meet up, http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21170 , at the end of November, another scout site that has a lot to offer bushcrafters.

I will endeavour to make my services available! Looking forward to meeting up again!

 

[Wayland]

Not sure whether I'll be back from Norway by then or not, It's touch and go.

Hi Goose - what do you reckon a family of four could do to help out?
We'd be happy to do litterpicking accross the site - we noticed (and picked up) loads there before.
Let us know.
Cheers
Alex

Was looking forward to legally being able to carry an axe and the usual sharps to this meet (and helping out ) but we are backpacking in France.

Hope the weather is good for you all.
