The August Lend-a-Hand weekend enjoyed limited support as usual. Work on a wide range of topics was however tackled.
The stripping of the 15F cab was begun, whilst the team effort was concentrated on the boiler repairs to 3664. Elements were removed and other boiler work was tackled by Des Payton, Les Weideman, John Dadford and Spikkels. New member Anneliese van Aard was in attendance to add the womanly touch. On the ground, Chris Janisch's gardening team continued the general weeding and raking of our site and sprucing up of the stores. The paint tins and their cupboards were moved to Hermanstad in Chris's faithful old Isuzu.
Coach contractor Willie sent out his "lighties" to do the filling and sanding of our latest suburban prior to painting.
Steve Smith appeared between tea breaks to extinguish fires created by the gardening staff as they burned the refuse and leaves accumulated...

Well done Chris and all who came to help. Sometimes "few hands complete much work"
