23-08-2010
The working bee on Sunday 22nd was very successful with a good turn up and much achieved.
Those of you who missed the excitement of the day and the company of fellow members will see an impressive change to the front area in front of the Demons Den. The demolition squad moved in and cleared the pillars and anything else theat got in the way. Lead sledge hammer man Graham Zbijowski assisted by Ewen Wilson on the crowbar made light work of the four pillars with Arnold OBrien, Ron Jackson, Carlo Garbardi, Jason Saunders working the wheel barrows and clearing the rubble. Graeme Gardiner, Greg Crozier and Geoff Boucher demolished the veranda walls to open up the front of the Demons Den - Yet more rubble.
The painters were out in force again with the regular team of Peter Aldridge, Ian Jay, Gordon Lowing, Peter Gribbin along with Brian Richards, Justin White and Kevin Oram giving the atmosphere around the greens a bright and fresh look.
