We are all very grateful to Dave Cregeen who, on a voluntary basis, has been regularly mowing the paths and open grassy area near the far bench at Ballachurry . Dave now has other commitments and is unable to continue during 2018. The Southern Group Committee and I'm sure all who visit the Reserve would like to place on record our thanks for the excellent job he's been doing there for us.
We now need to find a volunteer for 2018 to undertake this work from roughly March to October on a fortnightly basis. Dave tells me it used to take him about 40 minutes with his mulching mower but a conventional motor mower would take about an hour.
If you are able to help with this, or know someone who might be interested, please get in touch with our Secretary, Janet Thompson, on 07624 428953 or email her on jthompson@manx.net
One possibility might be a rota for this work which would, of course, lessen the commitment for each volunteer. Please do get in touch if you think you could help out in this way.
With thanks in anticipation.
Sheila.
