Today we were at Marsden golf course removing more old guards. We were: myself, Dave, Hap, Geoff and Ben. Cake was chocolate. Weather was passable. Dave and Hap then took lots of old guards to the tip, and retreived some more archery bosses from Meltham.

Dave worked on the stinking morass AKA attempt to create drainage out of old tree guards,while Adrian,Susan and Geoff did sterling work carrying old guards across the links to the road side. About 16 bagful's removed. 

Clean up woman

This Saturday our tidying up activities were below Marsden golf course. Planted in 2003, there were still lots of tree guards strapped round the bottom of grown trees. So myself, Dave, Peter, Jess, Geoff, Steve, and Adrian applied ourselves to the task. Some of the old guards were used to try and stabilise a sodden path. Cake was ginger, it rained some though not all of the time. And we found a lot of golf balls, which, in a random act of kindness we gave to some golfers.

Friday's blues

Dave, justifiably proud of all his rubbish.

Today Dave, Stephen and Hap spend a 2nd Friday finishing of the spring cleaning at Lower Green Owlers.

A total of 19 bags of guards were collected (most will be reused) and diligently carried of site, by hand, which was no mean feat bearing in mind the Indian elephants we hired for the job should couldn't cope !!

Not the most successful site ever, but still deserving of a tidy up.
