The Thursday Group welcomed long-standing regular L&B volunteer Graham Bendell from Dorset to its ranks today.
On a bright sunny day the outside task on offer to the gang was the commencement of the 2010 programme of fishplate greasing - was it really a year since we last did them?
Martyn Budd started us off with the greasing of all the fishplates on the up and down lines at Woody Bay Station.
