Progress Last Wednesday
We had a monster bonfire and removed most of the stuff. Needless to say the pile has grown again already! We fabricated and fitted the seats around the loggia on the school playing field. We inspected the broken vacuum cleaner in the Hall and found it to be a broken switch. We hope we did not lose any screws. We fitted the shelving to the supports in the container on the Rec. We moved the hinges on the Mem Hall rubbish bin gate so the shoot bolt slotted into its retaining hole.

Progress last Week
We levelled a grave and turfed it, we raised up a listing grave from the north side of the church and started lifting out a completely buried one.We removed the hazel poles from a tree on the west and from the ''Mike Cox ''tree and removed much of the bole of the latter. We tidied up the ivy from around the poo bin at the bottom of Church Lane. Coffee break was dominated by speculation as to the future role of Bonnie, and the future of the Kimpton Church in general. Quite a big issue. Rain started at about 1230 so an early lunch. BobM - do we need to buy you a new chainsaw chain? News
* Had a nice card from John Richardson and a donation towards Tony's bench, I'll bring the card on Wednesday. * Had a thank you card from the Horse Show, featuring us among others. Will bring that too. * At the Auction of Promises for Church and Guide Dog for the Blind charities four people paid to come and work with us Stephanie from The Bury, Fiona from the Old Vicarage, Ted Frith and Fiona's husband. That was £40, and we raised £95 to do some work at the Pool Club next spring and also £50 to spray Vivienne's patio to stop it being slippery. Progress last Wednesday Adequately reported by I/C 365, good list of jobs done. Well done all. Further Out I was told that Coffee mornings at the Dacre Rooms are now on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Fridays. Some variation near Bank Holidays. Not sure about this now - maybe the 2nd Friday is not actually organised yet. Friday 27th October Lining Roof and Walls 0930 Memorial Hall (90th Birthday) Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd December help at Christmas Market on The Green. March 2018 - Set out chairs for WI (County) concert September 27th
We finished the painting of Church House, good job done. We PAT tested the new coffee machine in Church House. We finished the painting of the Coopers Hill bench and painted the bollards there white. We put the lining up and took some art show screens to the Dacre Rooms for the art weekend. September 20th On Wednesday we had a bonfire, but still more to burn! We also painted the bench at Coopers Hill, removed the broken branch there, and painted the bollards on the pavement. We zoomed to Parkfield Rec and replaced two fence posts and some rails, and added some more rails. Also went to the Northern boundary and moved the rail back up to horizontal. We also (actually Christine working alone!) tided up the front of the Memorial Hall and the northern side of the entrance to the car park. We put the lining up on Friday and took it down on Monday September 13th We removed the contents of the football container, repaired the floor, took loads of stuff to the bonfire, David arranged for a scrap man to collect the metal, and Neil took some to the dump. The required stuff was put back inside neatly and there is now room for much more. For example May Festival and Folk Weekend tables and chairs etc. We also put the roof lining up, and took it down again. September 6th Last Wednesday we had a another bonfire, replaced some rails in the Parkfield Rec car park, removed the Autumn Show banners from the High Street and stored them away for next year, and mended the football club container roof - strong smell of resin and some happy people at the end. On Friday Jon M and Gordon did some overtime and replaced a ring on the cooker in the Dacre Rooms. Progress Wed 16th Aug

We fitted the corner protectors in the Green Room corridor, cut both the Eastern and Western hedges and removed the arisings, we cleared much of the perimeter and paths of sidings, and varnished the flower stands in the church, PAT tested the equipment in Church House (except that Jon had already done it but had forgotten - they did find an appliance that had not been done though - so not all lost). Later I went and secured the Peters Green toilet door so it could not be used (rotten floor). During the last week Jon and David fixed the broken Dacre Rooms clock. |
