2022 Working Bee Hours
Please record all of your working bee hours by clicking here and filling out the online form.
Working Bee hours don't have to be completed during specifically help working bees. There are plenty of jobs that can be completed outside of working bees such as mowing, whipper snippering, cleaning toilets, painting jump poles, helping out at events that you or your child are not competing at, being an active part of the committee, being an instructor, taking the bins out/in each week etc plus much more. Feel free to reach out to David to see how you can help - davidjohnmay@outlook.com
If you are looking to complete your 2022 working bee hours there is plenty of mowing that we need assistance with over the summer time. Please contact Pete or Dave to see how you can assist.
