 Scything Eynsham Playing Fields' Carnival Meadow
 

Hello [firstname],

9.30am to 12.30pm Saturday 19th July

Scything is best green gym you can get - stretching, flexing, bending, loosening, and strengthening, all at the same time. 

If you've not done it before we can teach you! We hope to mow Dovehouse Close, the Churchyard, the Fishpond's Car Park Meadow and the Newland's Street Meadow

Come and join us!

Please sign up here so that we know how many scythes to sharpen!

 

Best wishes,

 

Catriona
