Thirsty Work!

From the Sheffield Star on Monday 6th August:

“Volunteers have done their bit to spruce up one of Sheffields most popular parks  and had their hard work rewarded with free drinks at the local pub. Friends of Millhouses Park gave up hours of their time to weed, dig and tidy up shrubbery in a bid to prepare it for the busy school holiday period. Nearby pub The Waggon and Horses then welcomed the green fingered group inside and replenished their energy with free drinks.”
