Maintenance Day
Sunday 2 March 10:30am – 4pm
Please come along and help us keep the Buddhist centre looking beautiful.
The maintenance day is an opportunity to spend the day in good company, getting to know Sangha members. It is also, of course, an opportunity to take care of the building - which needs a lot of looking after.
You don't need great DIY skills to be able to contribute, but if you are a DIY pro then you will of course be very welcome!
Please let us know if you plan to come along, it helps with organising the day.
