What happens at Broadway Station it seams is dictated by the weather ! Monday after the weekend of storms was a reasonable day.
The usual sweeping up of pine needles by Tony and Ron was preceded by the emptying of a blocked drain outside the booking hall door , not blocked by pine needles but by everyday dirt !

This was the sweepings from the drive on Monday , roughly 3 feet high ( 90 cm ).
Bit low on numbers on Monday , in the afternoon we were down to 3 .
Tony gave the post a second coat of top coat to one of the posts.
Elsewhere Pat was keeping the weeds under control .and Dave made 2 small leaflet holders to complement the pamphlet holder , they just need a spot of varnish and maybe sign written too.

Wednesday . the rain was forecast and duly arrived just as some of the volunteers arrived ! Only 7 or 8 appeared , find a job indoors if you can .
Dave and Peter hid in the workshop whilst it was raining , having had a various requests from the catering staff one for a board to put the menu / price list on so people can see what we have available and two , they are trying to do away with the plastic trays that contain crisps and sweats.
A suitable board was cut to size and then painted black, a surround made ready to be fitted when the board has dried.
A four tiered / compartment crisp container came out of the workshop just after the rain stopped , off now to be varnished.
Even before the rain had stopped Tony and Peter K started fitting the spear fencing by the bridge gate.

2 large panels bolted up and the small panel fitted between the end posts , which leaves one panel which needs some adjustment.
Above shows what they had achieved , then it was the turn of Rod, Terry and Keith who turned up with Pen ,paper and ruler to measure the size of slabs to cut to finish off under the fence.
The trains into Broadway station are still topping and tailing , but lucky for us the King came in pointed the right way , with lots of steam in the miserable weather.
The crisp container is a great step forward. Any chance to get out of the habit of using plastic should be taken as it's no ornament.
ReplyDeleteThe spear topped fencing looks great.
And the timetable holders look the part, as I have stated on another blog.

Can Dave set up a production line to make these wonderful leaflet holders . if all 4 stations could have these , my team of leaflet volunteers can swoop upon all the plastic one's for use in cafes and fish + chip shops
ReplyDeleteVic S is our star performer covering the Bredon ring so well , he can have the plastic one's from Broadway . Hope to see them soon Dave ! Daily M.
