Work
sessions
|
|
|
We meet outside the
old brick and flint barn (red star on map) adjacent to the western entrance
to the Roedale allotments, which is accessed from
the Ditchling Road via the road to the Upper Roedale
cottages. The sessions are held on alternate Saturdays and Sundays on
the first weekend of every month from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
All members and
others are welcome to join us. There is no obligation to stay for the
whole morning or to attend every work day: it is entirely up to you how
many hours you do or how often you come, but you will always be made very
welcome. Gloves and tools are provided but wear sturdy footwear. For
tasks such as tree thinning and planting a new hedge, training is given.
The work is not too strenuous and we always stop for a break with tea,
coffee and biscuits provided.

Children accompanied
by a parent or other adult are welcome to attend work sessions, and it is
the responsibility of the accompanying parent or adult to ensure that
children are safe at all times, in respect both of their own activities and
keeping a prudent distance from the activities of others. Looking
after their children may well limit a parent’s own contribution to a
workday, but the Friends of Hollingbury and Burstead Woods group cannot,
and does not, accept responsibility for the welfare of children during work
sessions.
