Hi foggers

Please be advised that on Sunday 1st August 2010 we will doing a Workday at the site...

We will meet at 9am at Notcutts garden centre just off j7 m20 (head towards maidstone from j7 and its immediately on your left...)
(the meet point may be changed to the woods, if everyone attending has been before and knows where they are going...I will advise)

Please bring with you any tools that you have that may be useful for clearing trees, digging and lunch/drinks as nowhere very near to get grub when you have worked up an appetite.

Dont worry if you cant bring your fronty, we find somewhere to park the lesser cars if not 4x4's so you can still join in if you want to.

Probably not a good idea to bring dogs to the work days, I am just concerned about them running around with chainsaws going and 4x4's moving around,
and children must be kept on a tight leash and near parents at all times as we dont want any accidents. :shock:

Workdays will not be capped at the moment as loads to do, and we will be grafting as a team to get work done...this will involve some delegation of tasks within the team to ensure we are both productive and safe...
Use of chainsaws will be restricted to logging or pruning areas as instructed...I dont want to risk accidents with inexperienced members felling trees and anything we cut has to be considered so as to retain the character of the woods and to represent best productivity.
This is gonna be hard graft, I can be a bit of a slave driver :shock: , and for maximum productivity please only add your name if you are available for the full day...

Please note this is NOT a playday, and although some 4x4 driving/working will probably be involved during the day, we are there to work to get the site ready for the next meet...

Anyone "outworked" by Sally will be on toilet emptying duty at the next weekender!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your safety is paramount, I must insist that anyone attending ensures that they stay a safe distance from any felling or chainsaw operations or moving vehicles...
Falling debris can be unpredictable in its direction or distance of fall, so please be very careful...




Please add your name to the list if you are coming to help with this, and thanks for your support guys...we are really getting there with the site now!!!

If any members have trailers that they could bring for moving timber then this would be most useful...and give you a new slant on offroadin...offroadin with a trailer! Can be challenging, believe me, you wanna try it in february! :lol:

See you soon

Change of plans guys.....Can we make the workday SATURDAY THE 31st Instead????
Saturday is the Landowners wedding (at home)and huge gathering, and he has asked me to see if a few of us can come up and take some of his wedding guests on 4x4 jollies round the woods...(the easier stuff, dont want accidents or his wedding guests chucking up in our cars!)
Would like to oblige the fella if we can as he has done so much for us, so it kinda makes sense to combine workday and this on the saturday, so we will do workday stuff saturday morning/lunchtime, and then help do the 4x4 fing in the afternoon for a couple of hours...

Cant see many of the wedding guests wanting to go round the woods, but I think it would be good if we can oblige the landowners request if we can, even if we dont do much....

See what you can do guys :wink:

Sorry mate but got customers booked for Saturday :( Increadibly busy at the moment as booking customers upto 3 weeks in advance at the minute.

If I can get all the work knocked out in the morning I'll try and get over for the afternoon but can't promise anything I'm afraid. Sorry about that.

May be tricky now Greg as I was planning on working the Saturday, to make up for me having the preceding Monday off, in London. Will keep you posted though mate, as I could possibly amble up for a late lunch.
