The Green history and work carried out

The latest pictures of the new shed


  Above, pictures of the sprinkler system in action on a warm sunny day, the arrival of, the top dressing, the top dressing work party and finally the 'shed' as installed, before being made respectable.    We always need volunteers to help with the big jobs, as you could say 'never has so much been achieved by so few'

So........ if you can lighten the load of these stalwart workers by turning up to give a hand it would be very  much appreciated, just get in touch with Alan Foster or Alan waters

Below, installing the new footpath   2019.

Below pictures of the green at various times and some of the machines used to keep it in good nick
