Thurs 27th August

The day started bright and sunny.. but only lasted half an hour and it was raining by 09:00, several hours earlier than yesterday's forecast. Peter Smith and Robert Lee attempted to do some more rolling of the new leveled area, until the roller clogged up with mud.

The Thursday regulars practiced some splicing under Gordon Hutchinson's instruction.
