Adverse Weather Protocol

WBCS uses a protocal when considering whether or not a notification of adverse weather conditions raises the possibility that a decision to run the task, cancel or modify it in some way, is made necessary by the weather warning. To download this protocol click HERE

Please note, all our tasks and events are open to non-members unless it specifically states otherwise, although we do ask that anyone who tries our weekly tasks and decides to become a “regular” joins the Society. In particular when a task involves hedge laying we will limit attendance to the task to our regular volunteers. This country craft is popular and we need to be sure that our regular volunteers have sufficient opportunities to practice it.
