A Gang of 6 Broadway Volunteers, aided and abetted by Pete Dickinson and the trusty GWR truck spent the day shifting out the old bricks destined for Broadway and testing the logistics of getting the new bricks from their current position down to a more practical spot for brick laying. Most of the bricks had been isolated and barrowed to the bag collection by the signal box by the time I arrived. I was only able to assist in a human chain to get the last two loads of bricks across the track bed and up to Pete and the truck.

By the time this photo was taken the sun seemed to be getting to me as I give a credible Wooden Tops impression.

John Crawford spent the morning in the mini excavator leveling behind the planned wall. John is never happier than at the controls of a machine! After lunch Richard dropped off 5 tonnes of scalpings to level the ground by the new cabins. He then took 8 bags of bricks back to Broadway!

The shifting of the new bricks is a bit of a logistical challenge. Here Bob White gives them the once over. The preferred method seemed to be to shoot them down some guttering and move them down the track on a PW trolley.

This will be a long old process and it is a case of many hands make light work. No doubt the CAG Volunteers would have some ideas and be willing to help. I'm not sure whether anyone has asked them!!

For the gang who spent the day at Cheltenham, I am told it was an enjoyable day albeit a sweltering one but a job well done..

This work by the Broadway team must be much appreciated by the whole Railway
Bill, just because you have hair (envy) does not mean the sun can't reach you! Wear a hat for goodness sake.

Quite right, her ladyship said the same thing.
