| Folks Another chance to get involved in the Hogsmill, this time its installing the baffles onto the notched weir in Kingston. I was down there with Neil when it was being discussed, should be fascinating. We have a growing relationship with the SE Rivers Trust (Wandle Trust) and is great to be part of restoring this important tributary of the Thames. Volunteers are needed for all 3-days, Thursday 17th, Friday 18th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th - 3-4 people each day. If you want to get long and help, please put your name down with a date. Thanks people

| No one else able to help? Surely someopne can spare a few hours? It really is an enjoyable and satisfying way of spending time paddling about in a river. |

| Hello!
Sorry for dropping off the radar a bit- I was hoping to be back checking eel traps again by now.
I can come and help on Saturday 20th |

| Thanks for replying Neil, Keith Jeff and Alex, is appreciated.
I am a little surprised that hasnt been more interest in getting hands on in-river, improving fish passage, used to be a time when people jumped at the chance, maybe its just not that interesting any more.
I was with Joe from the ZSL yesterday morning and there are some new eel passes going in pretty soon and asked if the TAC would want to be involved, going to need to ask to a wider audience I guess and just not commit to any help again, real shame. With my job now its difficult to do as much as I did before and maybe that's a factor.
Neil, Keith can you do the Thursday 17th July? I will be down on the Saturday and if needed Sunday, will rope in some non TAC help. Alex Jeff, let me know if you have time to get down
When I spoke to Toby today he has a few people who are going to get involved and said roughly needed 3 volunteers for Thursday, 2 for Friday, 2 for Saturday.

| Hi, I am in Scotland until Saturday evening so I won't be able to help out this week, sorry.
I should be able to help with installing some of the other ones that are coming up. Look forwards to it.

| I can't tell you the postcode, although David may be able to when he's finished today but this map shows you where it is. The red dot is a small residents car park right on the river -  |
