Another work day, and a good one it was! Thanks to Alan and Malcolm's brainwave, we have covered each end with plastic, thus ensuring some weatherproofing for the ends. I attacked the roof of the Graz tram, which is still leaking in one ot two places, and John gave a coat of wood preservative to our new wood delivered by the farmer, cool! We have a good amount of wood to enclose the shed and to add some fencing, and our big lift target has been offered some railway sleepers, as well as the farmer digging out some big wood, good man!. Next work party 10th of December, and the big lift needs at least six volunteers for the Thursday after Xmas, check ya diary and see if you can help.

The Newhaven Raiway club Exhibiton gave us another £147.50, which is a very satisfactory result.We have over a£1,000 pounds in the bank, well done to all those who donated or helped.
The next work party is next Saturday, and we are planning to raise 53 the week after Xmas. If you have overdosed on Turkey, pants television, and the Mother in law, join us, we need at least six people to make sure it is done correctly, date will be announced.

Had a very good first dat at the BMRC exhibiton yeaterday, took over a £100.Expect it to be quieter today, though I am not there so I may be wrong, but a lot of interest was shown by the public at our display, which looks great! Many thanks to the members who are manning the stall, and also to all the people who have given all sorts to the society to sell, this has helped tremendously with the funding.

Not a great deal to report this week, but Tony Belcher delivered some new 53 T-shirts, which look great.We have 5 in large size only, and might use at shows, or sell, not sure yet.Richard Gatterell delivered some 4 x 2 on site, and John the farmer has promised to buy the wood for the shed improvements, and look out wood for the big lift.The next job is to jack up 53, get rid of the trailer wheels, and level out the cab ends.Whether we can re-use the wheels is debatable, unleess anyone readin' this wants to try.
