to be out online. If anyone wants to do so please let me know! The Scouts turned
out for a day in mid November to weed the saplings along the top of the newly dug
channel from The ‘Oss up towards Fosseway Lane.
After a gap of almost 2 years of having construction students undertaking work
experience with us we have agreed in outline with South Staffordshire College to
have its learners back with us later this year.
Before moving to external relations and activities I will conclude with more on our
volunteers, but now the events which are organised and which hopefully reinforce the
feeling of belonging to the LHCRT Volunteer Family. First, and after a COVID forced
gap last year, Big Brian yet again organised a superb Christmas dinner evening at
Darnford Moors Golf Club on 2 December. As on previous occasions we enjoyed
good food and excellent company, and we were delighted that Carmel Sweeney and
Chasetown Civil Engineering key staff joined us, too, as the late Noel Sweeney had
done. As ever, the Trust enormously values the link with this business.
