Peter Hoskings and his team have redesigned the narrow platform exit gate beside the gents loo to a much greater width. It now seems so obvious, why didn't we do this before? And the range of platform lighting has been increased with more victorian style lampposts.

Throughout the week the tongue in cheek daily newspaper, Ready By Easter, kept everyone up to date with the previous day's events though many of the tales were a bit far fetched. One that sticks in the mind was the 'discovery' of the Brill Railway Canal, an erstwhile non starter, whilst digging out an old drain alongside the restoration shed. This drain now runs (it didn't before) to the gate and will, eventually, take the outfall from the down yard once the new track drains are in. The driveway into the down yard has been landscaped level with the tons of stone but PLEASE no speeding down here.

The other constant in the week was the provision of a large, hot midday meal and two tea breaks for a very modest outlay, by Michael Hazell. The high point of the week was 26 for lunch when 21 had booked! A couple of new faces also appeared and were quickly given a job to do! It looks as if Bob Swift is now hooked for good.

A lot of things got painted around the general station area such as the telephone box, station furniture and a new pair of gates that have been built and installed outside the ladies loo. The old ones has got to be the point of 'open them once more and put them on the fire'.

In all it was a very successful week with quite a few members staying overnight and the rain held off until the second Sunday, too.
