Good News

 Week commencing 19th February 2024

Ian and myself spent most of the morning delivering the new waste bins to their new home at Cheltenham Racecourse Station. Bit of a faff , going to Winchcombe to pick up a suitable vehicle , driving back up to Broadway  to pick up the bins , trying to squeeze them in the vehicle . driving the long way to Cheltenham due to road closures .Finding race course is being readied for The festival  , but eventually we got there and David from the Cheltenham group accepted them.  

Back at Broadway around lunchtime , 2 volunteers had already had gone home, which left the 3 of us.

Monday shot of the new building revealed that the block work had commenced at the far end , and later that day the first of the steel uprights had been delivered.

The 3 of us after lunch headed down the drive and part erected the post into the previously dug holes.

Wednesday 

It  was chucking it down when we arrived , lets head indoors where the running in board from platform 2 was flipped over and was given the first coat of black paint. Its a bit of a squeeze in there so what we missed will have to wait until its outside.

The table had a new back put on it to stop the goods falling through , just needs tiding up.

The repaired bin lid had a top coat of dark stone .

Around the station over the years we have seen various glimpses of wild life , Badgers, Foxes , Stoats, rabbits etc.. Pat had a bush camera so he set it up and in one week we had a few videos !

Hopefully more next week.
