Thursdays and Week-ends from May to mid-September

Restoration work parties at Isfield Lock

By kind permission of landowner John Sclater, conservation / restoration work will restart at Isfield Lock on various week-ends from late April until mid-September 2009, plus a few Thursdays. Following completion of the removal of the bottom gate remains and all the silt from the lock in 2007, work in 2008 concentrated on the conservation and renovation of the East wall.  Good progress was made with this task and 2009 will see this work continuing with the possibility also of a start being made on the wing walls north and south of the Lock on this East side.

Further detailed lists of dates will be published here once they are set. We will be delighted to see any new working members there on these dates, but please contact our volunteer coordinator Ted Lintott, via e-mail at tedl @ talktalk.net, or by telephone 01444 414413, before you come along so that we can give you precise details of times and location.
