Most charities are a business. People still get paid a salary.

Hi Folks

 

thanks Ty, we are a group of volunteers who give up our spare time to maintain this site, no one gets paid in fact we all contribute to it. It was bought about thirty years ago to stop it becoming landfill, the policy is ' No profit ever has or will be made'

It was formed on July 1st 1916, the worst day in the history of the British Army, when 20,000 men climbed out the trenches and walked to their death. It's very popular with UK kids studying the Great War, for it shows clearly the devastation man made.

For fuller info Google Lochnagar Crater

Although our funds are limited we would not expect anyone to be out of pocket and would pay fuel costs etc. We tend to eat at a local French restaurant and of course you would be welcome to eat wth us for free.

Our intention was to use the Sat and Sunday to get the timber to the edge of the site and Monday chip it up. We usually have a band of Air Cadets who come over from the UK to provide muscle. Hope thats enough info to give you an idea of what we need, thanks again Bob

Well done Ty,

Post some photos when you've done it and I'll transfer €25 to the charity as I cannot come to help.

But it does feel good to have you all behind me on this.
