Our next scheduled working session, Saturday 19th April, falls on Easter Saturday, but we are still intending to go ahead with the session, meeting as usual at the outflow grille at the Broadwater Farm end at 10.00 am.
We reckon enough of us will not have other plans for Easter Saturday but it would be helpful to let John know as early as possible if you are intending to come along so we can plan the session ( johnmiles68@icloud.com). The tasks will be clearing out the outflow grille, litter picking and managing vegetation along the banks and water testing. As always, please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and good footwear.
If you haven’t come before, and want to just see what we get up too, then please do come along to say hello and have a look.
This year the Tottenham Flower and Produce Festival will be on Saturday 13th September.
