A big thank you to all who came to Weeley and made it a very happy weekend.
Shame about the weather but we all had a good time. I look forward to
seeing you all next September.
Dave Clark.

On Saturday evening at Weeley we will raise a glass in memory of Geoff.

Postperson Pat delivered my copy this morning. After I have done my chores I will
sit down with a coffee and have a read.

If you google Sheen Flame Wand you can still get all the spares and the operating instructions as well.

My copy was in the hall yesterday. A very i9nteresting read. Well done Robert.
and the team.

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.
Dave.

The carrier pigeon finally made it to my house yesterday.
Well done Robert a good read. lots of interesting items.
Happy Christmas.
Dave.

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

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

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]

Got mine this morning. About to settle down for my lunch and have a read.
Dave.

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.

Look forward to meeting you there.

Maybe a root scraper for mangolds and sweeds before slicing
for cattle food.
