The Volunteer Squad were delighted to be able to get some digging done today when finally the ground frost relented and let us get our spades into action. 
It was great too to welcome Graham from Plot S1 to his first session with us.

We had hoped and intended to bury the blooming ejit who asked us to take on this job, but poor Gordon nearly paid the ultimate price. Luckily, knowing his importance to the squad, the rest of the lads rushed to his aid – just in time.
Remember, you can’t be too careful out there and you never know when a trip or a slip may come your way.
It takes more than a smattering of frost and near Baltic conditions to deter our current volunteers. Thanks to Anne, Gordon and Mike for their efforts today and for making it a barrow load of fun.
Four GFAA volunteers easily match up to one horsepower when there is a job that needs doing.
The Tuesday squad are always on the lookout for something that needs doing. Give us a shout if you have something in mind.
It takes a lot more than the odd wintry shower to put off our Tuesday Volunteer Squad. They got well stuck in today removing the whin bushes on the North Bank by the car park. Thanks to Gordon, Anne and Mike.

With a shed to move from A to B on site today, we assembled a crack squad of plotters and volunteers.
Left to right: Grant, Mike, Gordon, Phil, Stuart and Graeme – what a fine body of men!
All went well, but we could have done with a couple of extra handlers when we came to the first corner: we had not realised that we had Lewis Hamilton driving and would be going around on two wheels.
