The main task for the day will be to prepare the picnic table/bench installation sites ready for the LexisNexis corporate work day and to move the table tops, bench seats and legs to the sites – please see Advance Notice below. There may also be some strimming work to be done.
As usual please would you continue to bring your own gloves and tools (shears and loppers) if you have them but a selection of FoF tools will be available for those who need them. Please would you also continue to bring your own wipes and hand gel as well as your own refreshments. Please also remember to wear long trousers/jeans to avoid getting bitten by ticks but FoF’s First Aid kit does contain tick removers if needed.
As Anthony will be supervising the work day please would you let Anthony know if you will be able to make the work day (Anthony.j.mills@gmail.com) - many thanks.
