As well as organising events at St Clements, the Friends of St Clements are
also responsible for the upkeep of the church and graveyard. This may involve
getting funds,managing the budget and organising contractors.
However sometimes when all else fails they get their hands dirty and do it
themselves.

gravel and removing the weeds
