The
second community family event at Thrupp Lake organised
by the Northmoor Trust brought together the regular
volunteer workforce and local families in a community
event to help build a shelter on the shore of Thrupp
lake. It is hoped the shelter will provide a place for
people to sit and enjoy the lake in any weather.
Thursday 18
August was another fine day, and a large number of people
turned up to make their contribution to the construction
of the shelter, an original and unique design that,
we are told, will take the form of a lily. The main
effort of the day was directed at attaching hundreds
of cedar wood shingles to the wooden frame, which had
been erected during the previous weeks, - a sufficiently
undemanding task for just about everyone who came to
be able to contribute to. By the end of the day the
roof was complete up to a level reachable by people
on the ground.
Refreshments
were provided courtesy of the Northmoor Trust, and,
despite it being essentially a work event, it was an
very much an enjoyable, rather than arduous, occasion
for all who came. |
