Monday 23rd - How Many Cleaners?

 All time record - 15! Only Nick missing, and he is recovering from an operation.

It's a while since we had a tea break pic, so here are most of the team (it's the easiest time to catch most of them!)

Greg, Lynn, Rich, John, Kath, Val, Roger C, Lawrie, Tim, Paul and Peter. Elsewhere are David, Jane and Nigel. Only Peter in shorts this week!

Rakes 1 and 2 were washed (that's the outside team returning after completing that) and just rake 1 cleaned inside, as rake 2 was not used last week. It was generally agreed that "Mary" was the worst we had seen it - perhaps there had been a biscuit crumb creation competition? At one stage the team working south and the team working north met those cleaning "Mary", so there was 9 of us in one carriage!

Just after that Roger C and Val completed the window cleaning.

With reduced work load and super numbers two extra jobs were tackled - Jane on carriage racks (she can reach them easily!) and John cleaned the toilet compartment walls.

Then some of the team took the Long Walk down to the DMU. Val, Roger C dodging the camera bottom left, Rich and Nigel.

Next week it is back to the two main rakes, after a week of half term and the Autumn Showcase over the weekend. That will keep us busy. Team leader John is a steward on rake 1 on Sunday, but do not worry. He assures us he is well scrubbed after doing toilet cleaning! 

Hopefully many of you will visit over the weekend.
