First day of the 2009/10 season


Old tubes gathered, and old volunteers in the background.

First day of our new season, and what are we doing? We are up Merrydale again retrieving stakes and guards. Well, it does need doing. We haven't quite finalised our tree order for this year, as we are still waiting for a cheque to arrive in the post (Kirklees!). Still the weather was pleasant, and maintenance is part of our work. A core of old stalwarts, myself, Philip, Neil and Geoff were joined by special guests Steve and Chelsea, and Neil and Sarah.
