It was an early start for the working party of helpers this morning, Scott Struthers from Bespoke Oak Timber arrived at 8am to set up his milling machine. With Stirling Melhuish, Nick Jones and Team Hender to help.
Shortly afterwards more hands arrived in the form of Johnathan Erskine, Gordon Hutchinson and Martin, Peter and Fiona (Team Bennett).

Good progress was made throughout the morning, the 44 large beams were completed by 11:45am (26 done the previous weekend) tea and coffee was ably provided by myself and Fiona.
We broke for lunch at about 1pm for hot dogs and crisps. Then recommenced work on the smaller joists required, with ground lessons on differentials and the differences between shovels and spades…. who knew!?
In the meantime we had visitors from Mendip GC with Motorfalke KWAK to do aerotow tug training, Dan kindly volunteered to rig DRE (with the help of Peter and Martin) and be towed free of charge for their required flights! I’ve never seen Dan move so fast, or his Dad smile so broadly!
