Really looking forward to seeing you all again this weekend. As nearly all the work to make the range a fit place to train will be finished this weekend it may be the last work party. So the next date for your diary will be the Christmas party the first weekend in December. See you on Saturday (Sol on Friday night) and yes please Tim bring any hand/power tools you have as JMB won't be there till the Sunday.

Lots of work done this weekend, the final weekend, namely cladding the outside front elevation (this will have to be completed at some point by a team); constructing some new tables; strengthening the rear fire doors, and laying carpet tiles in the conference room.
I was outside all weekend, helping Steve Valentine and Oilyrag (Nick) doing the cladding, so unfortunately I don't have any pics from the other work areas. See attachments for the front walls.
Those who have experienced the work parties at Stoke Mandeville will know how great the camaraderie is. Well, it was no differen this time. You're all diamonds, and you need to be proud of yourselves for achieving what we have.

Congratulations to all involved, sorry to have missed it.

I can count to potato.
Got in about 30 minutes ago, I'm absolutely f****d
All come together now, even the rain couldn't stop us completing that outside cladding.
I can't believe how different the ranges now look.
Thanks to all who took part this weekend, Sol, Timmah, Neil, Snook, Oilyrag and my good lady wife who made it this trip and did a sterling job of laying the carpet tiles in the conference room.
And Special thanks to my loyal apprentice, Dave, we made a good team, pleasure to work along side you.
Sorry if I forgot to mention anyone.
I think we ought to list what work we have completed?

Si the thanks go to you and all the BBSers who have given up their time to help us transform the shooting range. We are truly gratefull. Can't believe it is over four years ago that it all started. I thought I had some good pictures to show from this weekend you but as I'm a dope with the camera on my phone all I have is a couple of video's of Steve climbing up a ladder to put the top piece of cladding in (and a lot of views of the car park and my feet!!!) Can't wait till the Christmas party so that we can all thank you properly and you can all see how good the range looks now.

We have been talking, Rosie, and we think it's necessary to do one, final work party to sort out the front elevations. We are thinking about 24th Sept.
How does that fit in with your calendar?
We also need a call to arms for that weekend. Seriously. We need volunteers to fetch, carry, saw, screw, measure etc. etc. etc.
Who's up for it?
