It was the day of the annual church fair and Georgina was joined by Clare, who was doing her first session. Bright and early in the morning, our two hardy volunteers helped to move tables and were then asked to put up the tent gazebo, which was quite a task! Great work both - and welcome, Clare.

I helped clean and pack away after the Open Table community lunch. It was extremely well attended and every morsel of food was eaten! Success!

I joined Friends of the Earth to help weed around the tree saplings (some are now 4 years old!) and lay down some more wood chippings to prevent more from growing. Rewarding but tough work as the lack of rainfall meant the weeds were short but strong!

We delivered another 2 missions at Raynes Park Station today, assisting the Friends of Raynes Park Station. While a contingent of our finest were 'inducted' into the mysteries of station training, our seasoned veterans got straight to work: shoveling compost and embarking on a bucket relay up to Platform 3's planters.

We were rooting for extra hands post training, and wouldn't you know it, our timing was impeccable. Just as the trainees completed their session, the compost bag was emptied and the final bucket delivered to the awaiting planters.

Thanks to everyone who made it along - we really did prove that many hands make light work and have helped ensure the planters will be completed very soon.

Another group of volunteers completed the station induction at Raynes Park station this evening. We are now ready for action with whatever Friends of Raynes Park Station have planned for our next visit.
