Geldeston Lock - Work Party

Wed, 19 Jul 2017
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Dear RWT Beccles Group Member

In three weeks time, work will commence on the restoration of the lock chamber. Before the work can start we need to clear the site and the lock walls of vegetation and tree stumps.

We need your help with these preparatory works, therefore, we have arranged a series of work parties. These are planned for Wednesday and Friday each week from the 12th July. Please come and lend a hand if you can, no experience is required.

If you are able to attend, we will meet at the lock at 9.30am and we will finish by 12.30pm. The following equipment will be useful;

  • Stout shoes or boots
  • Gardening gloves
  • Waterproofs (just in case)
  • Life jacket, if you have one. (The trust does have some life jackets if you don't)
  • Gardening tools, such as loppers, shears, rake, etc. would be useful.

Parking - To avoid blocking the pub carpark, please park on Locks Lane in the large carpark before the barrier and walk the last hundred yards or so.

You can just turn up on the day but it would be helpful to know in advance if you can make it. Please email blwatson@btinternet.com.

Any questions, please call Project manager - Bernard Watson 01502 471814. For problems on the day mobile 07970 989452

We look forward to seeing you on the 19th or any Wednesday or Friday during July.
