The next working bee for 'The Hut' at Belanglo State Forest is from January 18-20.
The house is available for the use of clubs, schools and individual orienteers for training or even a holiday. The hut includes bedding for approximately 20. The grounds are also available for camping.
Although the accommodation is basic, there is a warm log fire, cooking facilities and a fridge, tank water and hot showers. Anyone who helps at a working bee receives free accommodation there for the next 12 months.
Tasks we hope to achieve include:
* collecting and cutting/splitting firewood
* erecting guttering on the Durham Room
* preparing the Durham Room exterior for painting
* general maintenance i.e. replace tap washers in the bathroom and campers sink, replace outdated smoke alarms.
If you can assist in any way, please contact Peter Howe (
If you fancy a run that weekend, on the Saturday morning SHOO have an event just up the road at Picton, with starts from 9.30-11am.
