2023 rolls around and CITO season appears on the horizon, so here's our 15th (18th if you count the aborted ones) Cemetery CITO
We have a lot of Trees here, 6000+ at last count and with a lot of trees comes a lot of falling wood, so our main task for the day will be to walk the site and gather up as much fallen wood as possible before returning it to the brash pit area ready for shredding next month.
Of course if walking and humping bags of wood around isn't for you, then we'll have the usual cut back / bramble digging tasks we can assign you.
Two hours of graft will be amply rewarded with as much tea & cake as we can muster at noon.
Please read the following section carefully, it contains important information for anyone considering coming to this event.
