We need help getting Garners Field ready for Family Camp and the summer season, we need volunteers to help with our long list of jobs. Children welcome BUT must be under close parental supervision as there will be machinery active on site so we cannot have children running free.

We hope to get through as much as possible on Saturday 30th March from 9:00am. Just turn up and stay as long as you can.

Refreshments and snacks will be available.

No specific skills needed just the enthusiasm and wiliness to get stuck in.

If you have your own tools (hand held or powered) feel free to bring them.

Members of the Campsite Crew will be around to co-ordinate and show you what they need and do every Monday.

If there is anything specific you would like to help with (i.e. you're a skilled tradesperson etc please let us know.)
