On TUesday of this week we took delivery of our new secure storage container.
Unfortunately we have had to temporarily place the container on an area of the common until the ground dries out enough to get the crane onto the grass without ripping the ground up.
We appologise for any incovienence caused by this.
This Saturday is going to be a very busy day as we have a working party in the morning and a family quiz in the evening. We would really appreciate any support that any of our members can provide.
