Chairman Chris reports from a hard-working Sunday (they always seem to get their monies worth out of us at regional HQ):…..
Well what a lovely day we had with Bob at Attingham, adding a fresh layer of “dust”, i.e fine gravel to the existing paths in the woods. We were a mix of boys and girls, all taking on the roles of shovelling, wheelbarrowing and raking the “dust” into its final position. Two good lengths of path were completed, at a pace and with some long barrow runs, by seven volunteers, Bob, and the long armed goose (!) before the rain set in and we retired for tea.
Hard at it… 
..Stop that slacking
The task was helped no end by Bob’s wheelbarrow maintenance (note: it’s not just money, but pumping up the tyres which makes the wheels go round!), along with Maggie’s marvellous cake selection. While the boys undertook most of the heavy wheelbarrowing, Lucy 2 kept the girls’ end up, and I fear must be two inches shorter for her trouble. Thanks too Leela for the photos.
…Before.. 
..After…
Finally, it was pleasing to be able to celebrate John’s 73rd Birthday with him – tactlessly, the safety elf forbade a suitably candlelit cake!!!!
..Long armed goose…but still none the wiser…Ed!! 
Birthday boy, looking half his age!
