The work
Stump removal and bonfires at the electricity substation (same as last time) plus some log splitting at the north portal.
We're only working Saturday and Sunday (not Friday, as originally discussed).
Please bring tirfors and waders if you have them in safe working order.

If you are coming straight to site, avoid blocking the gates of the substation with your vehicle. Take care when accessing site via the narrow verge as the traffic passes close by at speed.
Accommodation
Uffington Village Hall, Church Road, Uffington, Shropshire SY4 4SQ.
The hall is quite small, so avoid bringing double air beds. There's plenty of parking and a green space right outside the hall for camping/campervans. We're charged to hook up vans to the hall services so please avoid doing this if at all possible. No showers but there is a sports hall locally if anyone really wants one.
Last time we were at the hall we managed to knock a fire extinguisher off the wall and also spill diesel in the car park. Please be really cautious this time. We've been asked in particular to avoid leaning things against the walls and avoid scuffing them in general.
Friday night
Let me know if you expect to be the first to arrive and I'll share the entry code for the hall with you.
Pub is Corbet Arms (SY4 4SN), which is a short walk from the accommodation. They have decent rooms if anyone prefers to stay in a real bed. I think twin rooms are about £40 per person per night. I suggest meeting there or in the accommodation Friday night.
The van will arrive after 10pm on Friday so there won't be tea/coffee or toast before then. The pub does food until 9pm I think but check for yourself.
Van lifts
The van will leave 6.30pm from Waterloo this Friday. Let me know if you want a lift.
