For this task, we'll help Batter Up! recover after some damage caused by Storm Amy by lending a helping hand to assemble some new nets and poles that have just been delivered. Batter Up! is Portsmouth's first outdoor batting cage and has recently moved to its new home in Eastney in Cockleshell Gardens.

Music, snacks, and a chance to try out your swing will be provided for our volunteers, so come get your holiday season stress out by hitting a bucket of balls, and get a bit of exercise in before the festive feasting begins!

*Note that this is an outdoor task, and it will be rescheduled (possibly for Dec 21) in the case of heavy rain.
