Volunteers for Phase I Trailbuilding Urgently Needed!

Work on Phase I of the cycle trail scheme is about to start (projected date 24 January 2005.) We have an extremely tight timescale for spending the money as a good chunk of it has to spent by 31 March 2005. Pete Laing has been working very hard to put together plans, work schedules, costs etc and thinks it is achievable - but to complete the scheme properly we will probably need to use volunteer labour from both a costing and time scale point of view. This will particularly apply to the Skills Area and the building of features etc.

Vicky is looking to put together a list of volunteers that we can call upon (possibly at short notice) to help when necessary. Can you let me know if you are able to help and if so, when (or if easier - when not?)

Looking for as many volunteers as possible!!!

Ollie Graham, Project Manager for Phase I, has arranged two volunteer trailbuilding days starting at 9.30am on Saturday 9 April and Saturday 23 April. We have previously emailed asking for volunteers and had a good response so we are hoping as many of you as possible will be free on those days.

Ollie is looking for help in constructing features in the Skills Area, help with putting together the bridges and help finishing off the Skills Trail and Grove Link Trail.

If you are able to come, email Ollie at Oliver.Graham@groundwork.org.uk so he has some ideas of numbers etc.

Bring some lunch!
