]]>The pictures show that sometimes the work was a bit “enveloping” and at least pulling out the root gave Jim the chance to put his Land Rover into low ratio.
The morning was rounded off with taking Dave’s mower to bits to try and reattach a belt (with no success) and they even managed to put all the bits back together (hopefully).
The result…
I think the AGM realy did highlight what a year we have had and what an amazing year we have to look forward to.
A couple of pictures of the worth trophy winners below.
A cold but fun morning!
Marks out of 10 for best entry?

Hope you all enjoyed it.
