Workday Cancelled
Hi Foggers

Please be advised that on Sunday 12th August 2012 we will doing a Workday at the Woods in preparation for the Weekender on 24th-27th August 2012.
We are hoping to get a dumper truck from Lloyd which makes the collecting of the wood pile a lot easier and quicker.

We will meet at 10am 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.

Don't 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 don't want any accidents.

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 don't 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

We lots to do, the recent heavy rain and high winds have bought down a fair few trees and debris which will need clearing, so we have got our work cut out.

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!!!!

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...will be good to see you all, and with a bit of grafting we can get the site looking great for the Weekender!!!

See you soon

[rospicer]

I'll be there Looks like a bit of work to do then

[Wilberforce]

Possible for this one, Greg...
As it stands, I'm slated for work this weekend. If it gets scrubbed though, I'll try and womble up.

And I've been given London. Specifically, Forest Gate, which is about a mile and a half from Stratford and all the Olympic shenanigens. Let us hope that traffic won't be too bad, eh?

[gregster]

Sorry but workday is cancelled.

Thanks to Rob and Jim for your support but we shall have to gather firewood once camp is set-up at the weekender, and then beer and bonfire!

[andytats]

Greg if we can do a work day for a Saturday I'll be able to do one
As I have to work on Sundays.

[gregster]

I know you would help Andy...thanks for the offer, its certainly something we will look at in future.

But wood gathering should be fun, and a lot easier with masses of people doing it over the weekend, sooner than a couple of us struggling to get it done in a day.

See ya in a fortnight fella
