We were up Marsden Golf club, in two groups, this week.

Philip B., Dave, Stephen and Jon were felling some trees behind Netherley drive - at the request of at least one householder, and with with the agreement of the Golf Club.

Myself, Geoff, Ben, Jim, Sophie, and Philip H. were further up the course tidying some planting that suffers from a lot of wind and sheep damage.
