Title: Fall Clean Up- 2015
Post by: gmcnic on October 22, 2015, 04:53:04 PM
Hello everyone,

A small change in plans from the Tickler.  We will skip the grass seeding on Saturday.
A very kind recommendation from our friends in Keswick is that we are better to top-seed in mid-September, latest.

So it's rakes and hoes before the coffee and donuts flow-- I'm buying!
The fun begins at 10:00 am this Saturday, 24/October.

Hope to see you there.
Graham

There has been some concern about the weather for Saturday morning.

Winds and rain are in the forecast for tomorrow.
However, the rain should hold off through the morning so at this stage, we are a go.

Will update in the morning should things appear to have changed.

Updated forecast now shows light rain between 8:00am and 11:00am.
I think we can still work through this and I am still planning to be at the field this morning.

Hope to see some of you there, too :)

Hi guys,

Came to field after my morning family commitments and no one is here. Guess you finished by 11am.

Sorry I wasn't around to help.

Sorry about that, Ash.  But to you and everyone else who came out, thank you very much indeed!

The party of approximately 14 was on hand to work the trenches, tidy up the field, stack the chairs, fill holes in the field and winterize the storage bin.  We finished up shortly after 11am when the rain began necessitating a visit to Tims.  Sipping on hot bevies, we learned there is actually a place called "Hoffer" in Saskatchewan...

Great work volunteers and many thank you's again!
Graham

Thanks to all who came to help. I had another very important engagement and sadly couldn't be there to help. I hope you'll all understand.

Congratulations to you both, Harper would have called you "new stock".  But to me we are all Canadians.   :)
