A select few

After a slightly dull start, the morning developed into a warm, bright and lovely harbinger of spring. Sadly, there were fewer of us to enjoy it than usual, which made the work harder than we like, but we still achieved a lot. This picture shows Chairman John deep amongst the reeds, with our faithful Grizzly hard at work.


And here's his now customary message:

Famous oratory praising “The Few” comes to mind today.  Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen for your sterling effort.  Whilst we might struggle to finish the whole programme in just two more sessions, we’ve certainly done the most important part, and in the spring sunshine this morning it looked great.  Thanks again, next session is Sunday 3rd March.

Working party 2nd February

A good working party in decent weather, until a sharp snow shower near the end of the session. At least we got a lot done, which always helps you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here's what Chairman John has to say:


Hello All
 
There’s a danger of my thank you sounding a bit cliché because I’m always so fulsome in your praise.  But that is not the case at all as today, like every day, you’ve earned all the plaudits that can be heaped upon you.  None of us is getting any younger and each can be justifiably proud of what was achieved today.  Thank you very much.  The next working party is Saturday 16th, same place at 9:00am, when we will easily (a loose interpretation of the word, for Duncan’s benefit) finish the Central Area and move across to tackle the front half of the reedbed which is more rewarding and lighter work.
 
Regards from John
