Another Day at the Office

Wednesday 28th August 2019

No Monday volunteering this week so just the Wednesday for the volunteers ,13 turned up on a rain threatening day . but apart from one shower it held off until past 3.

 

Where they had dug a small trench and inserted the electrical cable on Platform 2 ,  It had left a very uneven surface , bricks and ballast all over the place  ( a good ankle twisting surface ) Ron took to re leveling , removing and refilling the holes . 

A small team continued with the area below the fence and stairs on platform filling holes etc. Tony giving the Posts and then the fence another coat of Paint.

Pete gave the metal work on the gate a coating of primer.

The other Pete was working on the surround for the Menu / Price list board for the tea room.

 Dave was keeping him company by finishing off,  Pamphlet holder number 2 . and to match the crisp holder a sweet and confectionery holder also for the counter in the tea room.

Later in the day a rare shot of over 5 volunteers in one place some working ,some watching and some talking !

Afternoon saw Clive, Rod , Keith and Ron started vegetation removal on Platform 2 , you know its hard work when spades are involved. Ron had the tricky job of ferrying it back  to the bonfire.

Talking of ferrying, The Routemaster was in action taking passengers from the station to Broadway village, looking good for being over 50 years old !
