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, but with
safety as a priority, please note that 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.
