Great write up that Elaine, much better than Ian'sHolkerbird wrote: βSun Nov 25, 2018 3:56 pm Yet another great shift put in by the volunteers. Whitty69 worked tirelessly, not even stopping for his breakfast break, making sure spotlights in the landing/pie bar area were installed along with other work. Jonty miraculously turning into a cleaning genius (must have worked for Betty Boop cleaners at some stage of his career). Peter (Forrest?) and his litter grabber was amazing and we all admired his thoroughness when we were going home (chauffeured by Exile---many thanks) as he had cleared Wilkie Road and upper Holker St outside the ground and it was immaculate. Then he carried his skills on to the kitchen. A great morings work with great results from him. IRVJ continued work on the pie bar but goodness me the effects of that Evostick glue was unbelievable, even spreading into the bar area where Jonty suddenly belted out BARROW give us a B give us an A much to everyones surprise. Exile happiest when he has a paint brush in his hand---players briefing room (players ex lounge area but don't get me started on that!!!) and the tunnel floor. Oldbarrowfancumback and Mabel his assistant daughter busy putting up various sponsor boards on the corridor. Big Al sorting out various issues regarding the toilets---like lack of toilet rolls etc---and providing hand towels and tea towels for the pie bar.
Les as happy as Larry with his new washing machine and back in action doing what he loves doing surrounded by piles of dirty kit, towels etc. Allan appeared after breakfast had finished as he had been busy beavering away somewhere and must have forgotten the time.
Spirit managed some painting which was impressive as he had been out last night--wink wink. Hahaha
We had a new volunteer turn up which is always a welcome sight.so thanks to him.
Gareth as usual busy with his ground duties and Ryan doing whatever it is he does, known only by him due to the Official Secrets Act.
Boylie turned up for a nosy---mistimed the breakfastand ended up acquiring us a tv for the pie bar area but requires an aerial connection which is being worked on.
A visit by Mark Hetherington for a tour rounded off the mornings work.
Well done everyone.

My daughter has one. I will bring it on Sunday morning along with the user instructions.spirit of 1990 wrote: βThu Nov 29, 2018 2:59 pm Does anyone on here have one of those steam cleaners that they could loan us on Sunday morning?
We donβt want to buy one just for the one job we need it for.
Thanks.
Thanks Elaine. Weβll need one with one of the flat headed attachments if possible. If it has various heads then even better.Holkerbird wrote: βThu Nov 29, 2018 3:04 pmMy daughter has one.

I have a hand one as well. Which do you want?
I wasn't in the main area Andy so can't give a full rundown on each person's contribution but there was plenty of activity and a real buzz about the place.
