by john on January 27, 2012

Title: Apiary Equipment Cleaning day
Location: Wenham Manor Farmhouse, Rogate
Start Time: 13:30
Date: 11-03-2012

Description: An afternoon Cleaning and refurbishing the Association apiary equipment.

You will need sweaters and/or rainwear – this work is done out-of-doors whatever the weather – but you will be plied with sustaining hot drinks and stimulated by good banter.

If you are ‘sat-nav savvy’ the post code is: GU31 5AY  If you rely on road numbers etc you want the A272 from Petersfield to Midhurst – about 1 ½ miles going east from the Association Apiary you will find long centralised hatching on the road – cross over to the right IMMEDIATELY at the far end of the hatching where you will find the driveway to your destination.

Alternatively telephone 01730 821920.
