Had a great time, as usual, on the first working party of 2011. Pete hempson, Andrew Clough, Mark McAndrew and I rebuilt the tyre walls from Hall Corner to Triangle, and there was much activity everywhere else on the hill. Huts were creosoted,paddock lines painted, new armco erected, and site preparations made for a new regalia hut.
We were well fed, as always (with chilli con carne this time), by Pat Fisher - thanks Pat.
Plenty more to do on the remaining four working parties (including the rebuilding of many more tyre walls!). I recommend them to everyone - the spirit of competitors, marshals, and officials all pulling together is what gives Loton its unique character. ;D ;D ;D

Another good working party on sat 12 Feb. Decent weather apart from a brief rain/hail shower.
About 20 volunteers worked hard all day and were well fed with Pat's chicken curry. Tyre walls now overhauled at Post 3 and on the left of the next short straight, and the next lot to be done are at Post 4 once the new armco is in to protect the trees there -it was being installed as I left.
Lots of huts and fence posts painted and work progressing on the new regalia hut site, new rumble strip done on the right hander before Post 4 (where it was being broken up by cars twards the end of last season). Plenty of other work going on out of my sight.
Had a good time again with good mates. Now looking forward to the next working party on 26 Feb, and am sorry I'll have to miss the last two because of the VSCC Marshals' Dinner and the VSCC Marshals' Training respectively.

A good day again.
Though, the last armco upright was a bit of an epic.......
If you where there, you know what i mean.
