Thanks David, taking her little brother in to see her this afternoon - can't wait !!

The main work planned for tomorrow now will be weeding - so bring gloves and any tools you may need. We have a few scrapers and shears. Plus some prep for the concrete work (shuttering boards).

The main concrete base digging work is now likely to be Sunday or Monday due to getting the relevant digger etc.. but we're probably ok for people on that for now, as we're using a digger.

Bob should be here tomorrow to direct what needs doing, but basically just work around the edge of the ground and remove weeds etc.. The main bits have already been strimmed and mowed, and some initial weedkilling has been done.

The following Saturday is still likely to need folks to help with concrete work and barrowing it to a few places around, plus we should be ok to then do some rubbing/down painting of the pitchside barriers.

Muddled up elderly Granddad presume you mean BIG Brother or was the 6lb 7oz the mistake & should have read 26lb 7oz !!! In which OOOCH from the new Mum.

Yeah meant her big bruv, but he's only 21 months old himself so still little lol

The poor lass had to have a c-section as she was breached - so yes, ouch !!

Always best exit route through the sun roof. Keep well away from those hip bones & messy areas. Still that's far to much detail can we get back to digging out for concrete & weeding please.

BUMP - If you can make it down today to help out, Bob should be there from 9am.

As before, mainly weeding today. We have a few weed scrapers and shears down there, but bring any other tools you think may be useful along. Plenty of bin bags there also.

There is a bit of Blue Painting for the changing rooms should anyone wish to do a bit of that - although best bring your own brush. Most of the painting work is likely for next weekend, or during the week after.

A big thank you to Dunk, Robin and Paul for helping out today.
The tunnel is up and most of the weeding on the patio area has been done.

A bit disapointed we didn't get more people down there today, we will need more bodies next week 8-)

I'll definitely be there next Saturday bob, so one extra pair of hands - can't do the Sunday, but can give all day on the sat !! will bring a variety of tools for a variety of jobs !!

Well done to everyone who turned up today though !!

Looks impressive, particularly like the addition of the players tunnel.
