It's a welcome return visit to see Sybil and the team at The Emmanuel Parish Church (Romford Road) - Sybil is looking forward to seeing us (as always!) and assures us there'll be plenty to keep us busy.

Inevitably there will be digging, clearing, raking, bagging, watering, possibly a bit of planting, but overall it'll be a case of getting our hands dirty and further preparing the garden (after our last few visits) for the autumn and winter months, and helping out the other volunteers who always join our sessions!

Please bring gardening gloves if you have them and head torches too as darkness is now descending upon us earlier and earlier...- other tools will be provided, and there might be post task refreshments too...

There'll be a run option (c1m/1.6km) from Freaks and Geeks (West Ham Lane), and a bag drop - we'll meet there at 6.45pm and return there after the task - alternatively you can meet us directly at the task, where Sybil will undoubtedly give you a warm welcome.


How are you getting there?

Meet at Freaks and Geeks at 1845 and set off at chatting speed, avoiding the Romford Road as much as possible (so route via the edge of West Ham Park and Upton Lane), to get the Church for 1900.
