BTCV tasks from about 1978 and 2012 and 2017 reunions

I discovered a few old slides in an ottoman in around 2005 and converted them onto a CD. Sadly these were the only photographs I took during my time as a BTCV volunteer from 1975 to 1983. In 1982 a popular BTCV character Charlie Payne tragically died in a road accident. Friends clubbed together to buy a area of Woodland in Friezland Wood near Tunbridge Wells which is managed by the Woodland Trust. An annual working reunion was held there from 1987 to 2017. Photos taken from the 2012 and 2017 reunions have been added to the gallery.
