It's September so that can only mean one thing, fat ball smooshing time, you all know the drill by now.
Yes, it's our 5th annual lard spreading bonanza, come stuff some lard and seeds onto cones, followed by stuffing some cake into your mouth, since 2017 we've stuffed well in excess of 1500 cones here, providing our feathered friends with a tasty treat as winter approaches.
You will spend 20-30 mins making the feeding balls, followed by heading out onto site to hang up your feeders and finally back to base for cup of tea and several buns, About an hour in total. We will be working outside so remember to check the forecast on the day.

On the day, meet at the Harriet Centre for introductions and a H&S briefing. To reduce contact points, there will not be an event logbook to sign for this CITO or a trackable drop off point, so please leave your wacky trackables at home, unless you've arranged to swap them with others directly.
