Another Bank Holiday

 Monday 9th May 2022

Another bank holiday stopped the volunteers attending last Monday , but we had a healthy turn out today , but nobody to keep the grass and the ever growing weeds down.

Dave started his day on gas bottle duty down at Toddington, and returned to find Ian , Ron and Ray on the cutting , with what was the remains on the what lineside clearance had cut down over a week ago.

Ian carried it over to the bonfire spot and by mid morning had a good fire on the go, what they couldn't shift got piled up and burnt on the spot.

Peter Q was down the drive doing his best to keep the weeds down.

After that he head to the workshop to prime some of the sides of the new waste bins.

Elsewhere Bob did some repair work and Brian sourced a new tool for the workshop.

Our tool store for the gardening equipment had always had been on tall legs , which made it difficult for us aging volunteers to lift mowers etc in and out of. So Peter K had the task of removing said legs, here seen half way through , shed now at a jaunty angle is waiting to have its front legs removed.

There is an hope that the Footbridge might be open for the Steam Gala , so people might be able just to go up and only onto the span. ( not over to the other side) to watch the trains.

Problem is that the web cam would be access able to prying hands , so Dave set about moving it to a new position , it has now been moved but its final position is not final just yet, so bear with.
