Downe @ 11 Acres — Open Work Weekend

Ongoing state of transformation

You may have seen the recent updates about how much change is happening at our Eleven Acres Campsite. It’s been an exciting year of repairs, refurbishments, and new projects — and now there’s a chance for you to get involved too!

We’re inviting volunteers to join our Open Work Weekend at the start of November. Whether you can spare an hour, a day, or the whole weekend, every bit of help makes a difference.

🧰 What we need help with

We’re looking for people who can:

• Clean, decorate, or paint

• Dig, build, and lend a hand with maintenance

• Do woodwork or joinery

• Help with plumbing or wiring

• Or generally fix and look after things around site

🍔 Weekend details

• Work begins from 9 AM each day

• Come for as long as you can — even a couple of hours helps

• We’ll likely have a BBQ on Saturday evening for everyone lending a hand

• Free camping for anyone staying and helping both days

📣 Spread the word

Please share this with your Scout Groups, section mailing lists and WhatsApp groups so we can gather as many willing hands as possible.
