Work Party: Tuesday 17th February 2026

Another rain-free if a little chilly winter day saw the volunteers meet up in Coed Gwilym Park. Most of the chaps started by clearing muck from the area outside the canoe store and then down the towpath.

The ladies cleaned the life jackets. Several of them were infested with mould after a long time in the damp and dark.

Martin, joined after tea by Diane and Chris G, tidied the gardens.

Tea was enjoyed with sweet and savoury treats provided by Moira. She even baked lovely cheese scones.

After tea, the floor beneath the racking in the store was cleaned.

Loads done today, even in the absence of the bosses. Who needs them?
