Western Heights Workday - Sunday 18th March
- 14 March 2012 16:57159310If anyone wants to join us please feel free - plenty of small and big jobs:
Current plans for March are to do a major tidy up of the Grand Shaft in preparation for the sponsored climb on 7th April and the opening of the Shaft to the public in April (3rd Sunday of the month)
Also we will split into a separate group to do a final tidy up after the amazing work that took place in the North Lines at the February workday with the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership - a bonfire will get rid of the remainder of the scrub
Meet at the Drop Redoubt for a 10:30 start where we will decide who goes where.
Thanks
Been nice knowing you :) - 14 March 2012 17:02159314This leads me onto a small request - does anyone have any old corrugated iron sheets that they may not need as we can use it to have bonfires on ?Been nice knowing you :)
- 14 March 2012 21:31159359i thought that was a joint project with white cliffs countryside partnership?
- 14 March 2012 21:39159362That was November and February that we joined together when we can't work inside the Redoubt (damn bats!) - now our preparations start for the Open Weekend and Grand Shaft OpeningBeen nice knowing you :)

16 March 2012 16:31159635paul,dose that include a ball and chain. - 17 March 2012 16:06159856Looks like we will have more to do tomorrow as a lot of rubbish has been fly-tipped in the Grand Shaft yard - rather strange as is in the purple bags.....
Been nice knowing you :) - 17 March 2012 16:46159865Oh FFS. I wonder if someone read we were having a workday there and dumped them deliberately knowing we would have to dispose of them somehow?
- 17 March 2012 17:29159870It looks like stuff that would have just gone out with the rubbish including clothes so wonder if one of the bench residents put it there to go throughBeen nice knowing you :)
- 17 March 2012 18:35159878As its in purple bags will the council collect it Or is that a really niaeve question ?
- 17 March 2012 19:02159882It isn't in a place where Veolia would see it so no. I tried to get hold of them today, but their reception isnt open at the weekend.
We will bag it up and we have arranged a collection from "Hippobag" from whom we were donated a couple of bags - it will just add to our work tomorrow :(Been nice knowing you :) - 17 March 2012 20:30159900at present all coloured bags are being collected, i think that is how it will eventually end up to.
the alternative is to leave the district looking like a tip. - 18 March 2012 00:49159935Paul
Ant is sure he has a couple of old corrugated iron sheets at the Mill you can have if you have some way of collecting them. There will be people at the Mill Sunday morning from about 9am.
Cheers H - 18 March 2012 10:25159993Great thanks Harry - I'll see what transport we have at the Fort today, but even if we can't get them today we may still be interestedBeen nice knowing you :)
- 18 March 2012 15:34160047impressive turn out this morning at the grand shaft, please note the pics do not do justice to the numbers working as there are so many nooks and crannies and also there was work going on at the top.
the first shows the rubbish dumped by someone else.
- 18 March 2012 18:52160067Didn't come to see me and Mandy and a few other at our Drop Redoubt bonfire ?
A great turnout today with a bit of added excitement at having to call out the police for some makeshift knifes that Phil found !!!Been nice knowing you :)
