PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR MT. OGURA WORKDAY SCHEDULE 2012

March 31, 2012 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

Last weekend I joined PTO for their first rubbish clearance of 2012. The weather was changeable to say the least and I got well dirty, but the results did us proud.

We had a good turn out on this occasion with people from China, Indonesia, Canada, New Zealand, a fair few Brits and the local J-crew. I was also pleasantly surprised to see both Mike Chan and Masyhur Hilmy (who were up in Tohoku with me) joining in too. Anyway, there is always room for more volunteers! If you are interested in poetry or conservation, come and join us next time on the Poet’s Mount!

The meeting place is normally Saga/Arashiyama Station at 9.45 am. You should bring your lunch and something to drink, and you should probably also contact organiser Stephen Gill in advance to let him know you are coming: heelstone@gmail.com

Here’s the schedule for the rest of this year. This may be augmented with other events or adapted slightly as the year proceeds. Check the new PTO website for updates.
