You will need to pre-book, so that we can manage numbers appropriately.
New volunteers are welcome. If you send us an email (jenniferbrooker777@btinternet.com), we will get back to you as soon as possible with directions and the couple of forms to be filled in for each person:
- a simple form with name, address, and contact details in case of emergency
- a short, fitness-industry standard questionnaire about basic health
Check that your tetanus inoculation is up-to-date. If you are not sure about this, your GP or practice nurse should be able to help, but tell them that you will be doing labouring work in the countryside. When at Green Gym, you will need to keep any medication you need, eg asthma inhaler, about your person (not left in the car or at home).
Check that you know where you are going. You need to be at the meeting point on time to hear things like the on-site safety information. (Tip: do not rely on an electronic device to read a map for you and/or give directions: many electronic devices send the unsuspecting user to the nearest ‘point of interest’ from an urbanite point of view. That could be hundreds of yards, or even several miles, away.)
Then look out a pair of sturdy boots and some old clothes, which you don’t mind getting muddy and torn, and which are up to whatever the great British weather can throw at us, and come along!
