    Congratulations Andy. Star of the front page.
    As Robert said he cannot do it without input from the
    members so please send in your event reports and project
    photos etc.

    My copy has not arrived yet. Maybe I will nip over to the editors house
    and read his.Its a windy day so maybe the carrier pigeon has been
    blown off course. Looking forward to the next post delivery.

    Well done Charlie, Robert has got a big job to match or better you.
    I like the two column format, I find it a bit easier to follow.

    You have got an old ratchet hand drill. I have used one in the past and they are very hard work
    There are still two under the bench in the shed and if possible they will stay there.
    The new magnetic drills are a far better idea.

    Thanks Andy. A big thank you to all members who came and made the
    weekend worthwhile. Robert and I went back this morning to clear up
    but there was nothing to do. No litter, just a flat grass area from
    the campsite. We had a coffee with David and Chris and came home to
    Braintree having provisionally booked next year.The date is yet
    to be…[Read more]

    Robert and I went back this morning to finish clearing up. We put the last bits in our store shed and locked the door and put the squirrel blocking board in place. The little B****** had
    filled all the corners and bits of machinery up with nuts and had made a right mess. Much more of that and it will be the air rifle and telescopic sights for…[Read more]

    Anybody coming to Weeley this coming weekend be warned. There are major road works
    on the A12 north of Colchester. This will slow your journey by quite a bit.
    Highways are digging up the whole road and rebuilding from the subsoil upwards
    Lots of speed restrictions and sallow moving traffic. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    It seems that I made a mistake and spelt Weeley wrong way. Sorry, even the best of us
    can make mistakes.
    Last Monday Robert went over to Weeley and topped the working field. Many thanks Robert.
    He reported that the field is in good shape and he recons that I will plough well.
    All we need now is a good turnout for the weekend. It is not a serious…[Read more]

    As a club members only event I have always been led to believe that ride on insurance is
    not needed. But I stand to be corrected.
    No pre booking needed just turn up and enjoy a good weekend with like minded friends.
    Look forward to meeting you there.
