The Service Crew consists of a group of volunteers who meet regularly to maintain and develop the site.  The Crew is often aided by local Groups or campers from other areas wishing to help the site and accumulate hours towards their service awards.  View recent pictures of the crew here or some older shots here.

In 2008 we continued to improve the ground quality of Site 10 be reseeding and stone picking with the assistance of some local Explorer Scouts.  The roof to the transit shelter was replaced to provide a new rain proof area and several trees that were not in good health were felled.

In 2007 while keeping the site in good camping condition we have created a conservation area adjacent to the fire break which we hope to make accessible in the future as coppiced trees take hold.  Throughout the year we made many improvements to the camp sites and replaced aging alter fires.  At the end of the season we closed off site 10 to help the ground improve.

2006 was a good year for the Service Crew allowing many opportunities to focus on small projects enhancing the camp site. A lot of time has been spent clearing dead and overhanging trees allowing more sun to reach the grass which helps aide growth and many of the tracks around the site have been re-laid. The main track has been widened by site one allowing drivers with large vehicles more space to manoeuvre around the corner. Fetcham Explorers were a great help in November when they joined the Service Crew. We are pleased to welcome several new faces to the Service Crew in the year helping to maintain enthusiasm and keep spirits high..

In 2005 we were busy completing the development of the new female toilet facilities and continuing maintenance to the remainder of the site.  Recent completed tasks have included the fitting of the outside sinks for campsite users, installation of new posts for the main gate and resurfacing works to the car parks and treks.  Nonsuch Explorers have helped lay concrete for new paths around the toilet block whilst the 7th Epsom Uganda Project has assisted by painting gates and clearing felled trees.  Lots of other routine tasks and one off elements of maintenance continue to take place on a regular basis.
