Wednesday 31st March 2010

A sodden airfield, and a biting wind with horizontal sleet against a backdrop of a snow-covered moor, failed to deter a jolly group of Wednesday regulars from turning out and continuing to spruce up the place in readiness for the Open Day.

Encouraged by the tremendous inroads made by members last weekend, and guided by Don's hit-list of tasks, the team was ruthless in its disposal of junk and in trying to ensure that visitors receive a good impression right from the moment when they drive through the gate.

Ged in the digger and a trio of shovellers made a major dent in the pile of road planings - and at the same time reduced the number of 'dents' in the main track down the centre of the airfield (although the improvements were difficult to see because of the amount of water).

Finally, a big 'thank you' to Heather for her dedication and hard work both today and on previous occasions, which has transformed the appearance, cleanliness and comfort of the clubhouse.

Disappointing to have yet another unflyable Wednesday, but it was all good fun.

Thanks to everyone who took part.
