Please join us in Astley Park, Chorley
On Saturday 22nd September @ 09:30am
With the Friends of Astley Park
To bash some balsam!
I've spoken to Friends of Astley Park about hosting a CITO event for CITO Week 2018. They're extremely supportive of Geocaching so it's a nice way to give back and help them while also receiving a nice souvenir for your Geocaching profile.
We'll meet at Queens Park Road Car Park at the published coordinates at 09:30 where FoAP will confirm our targets for the morning. The main focus of the event will be removal to make the Sensory Garden look as good as possible and help with weeding etc..
The event is expected to last around two hours, depending on how much work there is for us and, of course, how many people turn up
Wearing your best clothes probably isn't a good option as we may get dirty
The area we will be working is quite dense and so gardening gloves and wellingtons or sturdy boots will be the most appropriate footwear as we are likely to end up in areas with some brambles / nettles and possibly alongside the margins of the river. If you have a spade or trowel, please bring it along. It’ll make it a lot easier!
There is plenty of free parking to the rear of the park, behind Astley Hall (see waypoint provided). The only public toilets available in the park are also at this end - in the old coaching house.
When logging your Will Attend please mention how many will be in your party, just to give us an idea of the expected numbers.
That's all there is to it really - hope to see you there
Thank you to LFC4eva for letting me steal her page design. It looks very nice!
