WORKING BEE FOR FRIENDS OF QUEENS PARK 17 AUGUST 2019
Having had very successful June and July Working Bees for Queens Park, the third one has been set for Saturday 17th August 10am.
We will meet again at the top of the steps which run up from the Grant Road/Park Street intersection to Wadestown Road. Bring your tools if you can – there will be some spares supplied for those who need them.
We want this to be an enjoyable occasion. Contributions to morning tea/coffee would be very welcome. I hope to see you on Saturday 17th August. Peter Steel – 021 244 1850
