We did managed to squeeze an extra task day in before 2016 ended, on New Year's Eve, and had a great turnout despite several regular volunteers who are unwell not being able to make it.

As it was a special day we took our refreshments at Samuel Oldknow's instead of the mess room in the park. I for one could get used to this!
