With JOTA (and summer) just around the corner, the club held a working bee to make the grounds safer for the young ‘uns by removing some of the fallen branches and leaves, cleaning the gutters, etc. Here are some photos collected so far from the day.

Despite the forecast of thunderstorms all day, the morning weather proved to be quite pleasant, making the work fairly easy. There was a good turnout, so many hands made for light work (and quick work of the sausages and the ensuing BBQ!) The rains turned up in the early afternoon, when most of the essential work was done.

Fire? What fire?
Trees shed leaves and branches on the shed. The war never ends!
“That ladder might come in handy one day!” “No it won’t – not now anyway!”

By afternoon, rain was rolling in, but would you trust it to extinguish the fire? Greg VK2XE taking no chances.

There is still plenty of work to be done, so expect another working bee before too long…
