WORKING BEES:

Saturday 22 August and Saturday 5 September

It has been an unusually busy winter season so far and with so much activity our buses are in need of a little TLC.

We are really proud of the fleet, and want to keep them looking their best, so we're on the lookout for volunteers to help us at our upcoming working bees to assist with cleaning as well as maintenance/minor repairs if you have skills in this area.

We'll be starting at 10am each day at the farm and any time you can spare would be greatly appreciated. Cleaning products will be available at the farm, though since we don't have hot water on site it would be really helpful if you could bring a small container (thermos etc.) of hot water - this will help the cleaners a lot!

A BBQ lunch will be provided for all volunteers around midday.

If you have any queries or transport requirements please contact us;

[email protected] (Attention Shonagh)

We would love to hear from you if you are able to help and look forward to seeing you.
