Our next work day is Saturday, July 22, 2017. We will be back working on the Galty Castle/King’s Yard track and meeting at Kilbehenny Community Centre at 10.30am.
We have had lots of new members join this year and there has been a terrific turn out so far on each of our Work Days. As you know “many hands make light work”. So let’s keep up the momentum and get out there, get dirty and give something back to our environment. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Leader: Pat Lombard
Co leader: Mike Keyes
Saturday 22nd July meet at Kilbehenny Community Centre @ 10.30am (Exit 12 off the M8)
Come prepared for a day in the hills, be prepared for all weathers, for safety and comfort wear appropriate footwear. A packed lunch is advisable, including a hot drink. A change of clothes is recommended for the homeward journey. Bring gardening gloves if you have them; otherwise they will be supplied. For this track we would also recommend you bring a pair of wellingtons as it could be rather muddy!
