Thank you to those who, as at the end of December 2022,  have volunteered two hours of their valuable Saturday spare time on 6 Saturdays to help clear a massive amount of brambles at Gosden House School and arranged for the trimming of the apple trees to restore the orchard. (Many thanks Merrow Agricultral College students for the tree trimming).. It  is an outstanding school for young people with learning and additional needs. For the last 5 years a group of Rotarians from Guildford have been helping to clear  the  gardens.Sadly however for the last two years we have been prevented from helping due to  the Covid restrictions. Brilliantly these have recently been lifted to  allow us to return.  Over the years the brambles have continued to grow and we need some additional hands (and they don’t need to be green fingers) to clear nettles, brambles, etc. We have been delighted that already we are getting help and at the peak one Saturday we had 18 of us including several non rotarians, three children and two dogs! Think what we could do with yet more volunteers! Please keep an eye on this website for notice of our working dates, the next of which will be announced shortly. We alwayscomplete the morning at the Queen Victoria for some refreshment. 

The School is in the middle of some 45 acres of land and they have very little  help. The land has steadily become overgrown and currently our club is therefore helping with clearing some of the area. We  found some 7/8 apple trees under all those brambles which have now been expertly pruned! - see photos.

The pictures  show how much has been cleared already. 

Why not join us for a couple of hours of enjoyable healthy exercise on a Saturday morning and finish with a friendly pint?
