Hi

Evening all.

SCOUT GRASS
Once again Colin has stepped up and volunteered to cut and trim the Scout's grass once again. Volunteers needed to give him a hand to rake up the cuttings please. There are also some thistles there that need cutting out, so anyone with a high pain threshold in their hands is welcome to pull them out, or they could wear gloves, of course...

KINDLING
It's that time of year again and we need to do a stock-take of what we've got and also start to chop up some more.

STEEL CONTAINER
We will still run a workbench down one side of the box, but the first priority is to de-clutter the interior. Nothing can happen till we get the interior sorted and tidied.

BONFIRE
If Keith is around, you'll be in charge of the bonfire Keith. There's a fair bit of rubbish to be got rid of. Weather permitting we'll have a fire.

AGM
Remember, our Shed's AGM is next Friday the 20th.
