Fancy lending a hand?
The Friends of the Rec organise work days every two or three months. Volunteers tackle the jobs necessary at the time, usually working on Sundays or weekday mornings from about 10am and for as long as they wish – stopping, of course, for the occasional cuppa and chat (and homemade cakes if we’re lucky).
If you’d like to help we’d love to see you. You can also join our email list for regular updates and upcoming dates – to do so, simply email us at friendsofconwayrec@gmail.com
