A cold and damp Morning greeted a healthy group of volunteers back to Broadway station, after a while the break of 4 weeks just seamed like as a memory as there was plenty to do. everybody carried on with their previous jobs.
First there was a job for the lifters and shifters , the delivering of the two finished spear fencing panels up Rod, Terry and Keith.
Panels delivered , post crete delivered , they were soon erected.
The rest of the team had the brushes and brooms out . Brian ,Dave and Ian down the station drive. Chris and Dave on the Station car park.
After the drive Brian and Dave headed onto platform 1
Where did all the debris end up , on the Bonfire manned by Tony
Peter was in a world of his own digging out weeds from the embankment. Pat was somewhere to the North of the station with his brush cutter.
Peter K was constructing the new slopping spear fencing panels for the south side of the fencing , these will follow on eventfully down the ramp. Mike then applying the red oxide.
Talking of the ramp . After they had finished Rod, Terry and Keith moved over some slabs in readiness. The area around the ramp needs tiding up before the fencing can be erected , that's next weeks job , weather permitting .

The fencing is coming along lovely. Looks like there is some ground to be made up at the south end for the sloping railings to be set into.

Unfortunately, the Augur wouldn't start, so we had to dig the holes with a new trenching spade donated by Rod, and taking the soil and stones out of the hole by hand. Pat managed to get the Augur working later in the day.
