Hut Cleaning Help

Whilst the main hall gets a clean after some section meetings the whole hut does need a proper clean about every four weeks. It takes two people about 1 1/2 hours to clean the hut.

We need a minimum of two adults (over 18 years), but more people will speed up the process. Also you can volunteer for more than 1 session!

The hut will be available for cleaning all day on Saturday, all day the following Sunday.
For the remainder of 2010 the cleaning sessions that we are seeking volunteers for are:

If you can help us the please contact Keith Winter via email at firstnews@firstwokingham.org.uk or telephone on

and state:

i)what session you can do,
ii)which day and start time you prefer, and
iii)names of people

Keith will then ensure that the hut is reserved for that day/time and generate the rota.

We will of course ensure that the keys to the hut are available at the time you need them and all cleaning materials you will need are ready for you.

Please look at your diaries and volunteer.
