Twenty members of SROC rolled up their sleeves on Friday 31st January and helped to plant hundreds of trees at Beacon Fell. The planting was arranged by Mark Gordon of GlobalRenewables acting on behalf of Lancashire County Council. Five large tree were donated by J A Jones Nursery of Southport to symbolise each decade of the club’s existence. The planting is part of the master plan for the sustainable development of Beacon Fell Country Park. The first photo shows Club President, Peter Knott, Club Chair, Mark Edwards and John Gillow from JA Jones Nursery planting one of the larger common oak trees. The second photo shows Alex Finch, Quentin Harding and Peter Knott acting like all good workmen, watching John Gillow do all the hard work. A bit later on it did some serious snowing and we were all glad to get stuck in to get warm. Martyn Roome
