Thanks for everyone putting themselves forward.

We will be going ahead on Sunday (the weather looks ok at the moment). If you don't have digging tools, no problem - we have some at the park.

I'll be there from 9am, but will have to slip away for half an hour between 10 and 10.30, because my son is playing a football match just up the road.

I'm planning to have everything done by 11am.

On the list of things to do are

1. Dig out drainage channels and back fill with gravel
2. Edge trim the grass all around the inside kerb
3. Edge trim the weeds on the outside kerb along the back straight

I think we'll be fine, if everyone comes along - see you there !

Thanks !!!!

Barrie, assuming you're getting better, would you mind giving me a lift as well?

I might join Ed at his house (if he doesn't mind...).

What time are thinking about?

I think it took about 45mins last time, from near Ed's.

So say 8am to get there for 9am, or equivalent depending on what time we want to get there.

I'll confirm 100% this eve' so that there's still some time to make other arrangements.

OK, 8am where I picked you up last time, unless you have a better plan.
I'll phone again when I leave, can do the same for Diego if it helps (and you give me your number).

Barrie, my number is 07920 836474.

I will be with Ed at 8.00am, unless you want to pick me up somewhere near Paddington Station...

If I don't get a text from you before 7.00am I'll just walk up to Ed's.

Thanks! Smile

@diego...bus 332 stops at my road...get off one stop after paddington green police station as that's where I met barrie.

@barrie...maybe 0815 would be better :) those extra 15mins make a difference

@adrian...if we're done by 11 and have energy, what sort of training session would you have in mind? Some people may intend to leave at 12 to catch the Sunday stroll, but maybe we can fit something in still...?

OK 8:15 it is.

Diego, I'll be coming straight up Edgware Road, so it'd be easier if you and Ed can get together.

If you want a ring when I leave home drop me a text on 07803050231, otherwise I'll see you there at 8:15am Smile

Thanks again everyone for all of your hard work today.

The drainage looks a really neat job, and the kerbs look fantastic !!!!!

That was actually quite enjoyable, made easier by the numbers that turned up to help.
