Weed Clearance

Saturday 10th June.  Meet at 10 am in the car park behind the Coop.  End by 12.

Bring your own gloves and tools, or use ours. We have a stock of gloves, tools and hi-viz tabards. All are welcome, but children must be under the supervision of a responsible adult.

We usually organise 1 or 2 litter picks during the year to keep our village nice – but we’re pleased to see that the litter situation is good, so we’ve swapped the litter pick that had been proposed for 3 June with a weed clearance a week later. See also the Bagshot Society’s page.
