First of well done all for the effort this morning - as John P said - it was the hardest work we had done for a long time. But we not only put three marquees up, but also fetched the first batch of tables and chairs. Thanks very much to Sue B for the coffee and treats. I suggested to her that we could make that our regular coffee stop. Not agreed though.
Regarding tomorrow, Thursday. The Christmas lights are going up at the school at 0930, and so far we have only Pete D helping Mark Hubbard. One or two more would be useful if anyone is free. Mark reckons less than an hour. Also Jon M and Neil are putting up lights and generally doing electrics tomorrow on The Green. They could probably do with a bit of help, it will almost certainly involve ladders, so people holding ladders will be helpful at least. So far only Gordon has said he will definitely be there, although others may turn up. 0930 onwards.

The tear in the big marquee was mended. The waste bin at the west end of the village was screwed back on to the bus stop. The leaves were cleared off the Green. The Fair banners were put up at the bottom of Church Lane. A completely buried grave surround was excavated - and found to be about half the surround only. But it did have an inscription on it - John P is looking to see if we knew about it already. Progress November 15th We removed all the weeds from the side and back of the Dacre Rooms, we cut down the silver birch tree in Ulla Picket's garden and took to 108 ready for decorating at the Christmas fair. We zoomed to Ben Cole's farm and loaded 67 chairs and 10 tables into the trailer and Landrover and then stored them in the container. We made small wooden squares to hold down safety tape as part of the safety precautions on The Green for the X F. We are not sure about this safety project though. We zoomed to the Memorial Hall and replaced three outside lamps. We zoomed to the Purvis's house and collected a massive marquee and took it to the container. Great morning's work. Well done all.

We had a bonfire, sawed off some poles and fetched Friday team arisings from the churchyard, looked at the bottle fridge in the Hall and decided it could not be mended, measured the insulation needed for above the lounge and removed broken glass and mirror from behind the Scout store. We painted the KPC notice board at the Corner Stores, removed a spike foot hazard from the footpath on the way to Peters Green, repaired three posts at kissing gates near Park Woods and completed the painting of the bench at Peters Green. We had coffee at Vivienne's and washed her patio with Patio Magic and took some WI tables to the boiler room ready for the Xmas fair. Phew! 6/11/2017 The hedge on the southern boundary of the Wrens Close play area was cut and arid the arisings taken to the bonfire. The new legs were fitted to the KPC notice board at the Corner Stores. The ''chicane fence'' at the southern end of the permissive path at Blackmore End was repaired. Keith did some bench work at Peters Green. 31/10/2017 Last Wednesday in the churchyard we lifted up several grave surrounds, finished painting the sofits on Church House and made a hinged hatch in the ceiling of one of the store rooms. (So we can still inspect from time to time and see if there is any water ingress). We took loads of one ton bags of leaves and branches to the bonfire. We varnished the inside of the KPC notice board at the Corner Stores, we fitted a new switch to the Memorial Hall vacuum cleaner. We held the ladder for IC3 to climb to fit replacement lamps in the heights of the church. On Friday we put the lining up, roof and walls, and on Monday took it down again. |
