Monday 21st - Here We Go Again

 Well, some of the Carriage Cleaning Team do. With Mrs Blogger not fit to go for some time we were unable to attend, so just 6 volunteers did this turn. That is pretty much it. Pre Covid we had 16 on the books and often had up to 12 turn up. But Covid, old age, ill health and travelling have decimated the numbers. When the holiday season starts and the inevitable weeks these regulars can't make it we will be very short on numbers. Hopefully we can attract some more or else it may be another area that has to go out to paid contractors.

There was one upside this week. As the maroon rake had not been cleaned internally following the Race Trains the contractors came to do that. The volunteers were much relieved! In the words of John the team leader the inside "looked as if a bomb had hit it"! So rake 1 was cleaned inside and Malvern outside rake 1 washed, Cotswold outside rake 2. 

So if you want to do something useful (and fun!) on a Monday morning we would be very pleased to see you!
