One good day , One bad day

 Week commencing 17th August 2020

Last week saw volunteers leave early on Wednesday because it was too hot , this Wednesday we couldn't even get going because it was too wet .

At least on Monday we managed to do the usual !

As always the drive needs a brush up , Ian on the case.

Over the other side Brian is seen " Feeding the Chickens ! " no, sowing grass seeds on the bare patches, in the anticipation of a bit of rain . Little did he know what was to come.

Afterwards he joined Peter Q and Dave on wheelbarrow raking down the Embankment behind Platform 1. 

Above them Vic was tidying the top of the embankment.

After the morning  break a bit of Muscle was needed to move the finished panels to outside the signal box , roughly in the vicinity of their eventual positions between the bridge and the signal box.

Not far away Pat was on the most difficult embankment of the station site, very steep with bricks and stones underfoot.

After Lunch 4 Volunteers continued clearing the road side embankment.

Wednesday was a total different day, (you can say that again). Vic was on duty as Station Assistant (Porter) and taking todays photos. It's raining, it's pouring, I'm not sure which old man was storing!!!

Hillary was S M and Roy the BOC also present during the day was David senior SM.

The Railway Clearance Team were again at Broadway, beavering away in spite of the weather.

The loco today was Foremark Hall seen here passing Broadway Signal Box.

Peter K and Pat were both during their regular jobs, Peter manufacturing more Spear Fencing and Pat out with his strimmer. Peter in the dry, Pat replacing his strimmer cord. Next to Pat is our Summer volunteer Ron watching on.

Finally our replacement Pine Trees are all surviving well and growing taller, also the memorial rose planted for Doreen Walters flowered very well this year.
