Trees for Marsden
Thank you to the benefactor who donated three surplus macrocarpa trees to the Marsden Parents' Association to be cut for firewood in aid of the Sports Education Centre. They have been felled by our groundsmen so they can dry out over the summer. A parents' working bee will cut them up next year. (17/09/09)
