Work Begins At Last!

Noah Welch, Polly Johnson and Ben Sullivan sporting the latest fashion this season - Kaleidoscope hard hats!
If you have been down to the Hampers Green Hall recently you will have noticed a few changes.  The Horticultural Society Huts have gone and work has begun to remove the mound of soil next to them and level the ground, ready for OUR NEW BUILDING!


On the day the diggers moved in, a few of us met on site to share a cuppa and a bacon buttie - a small way of marking our great joy (and relief) that the project is starting it's transformational stage.

There are lots of people involved in this build, and as the blog goes on, I hope to give mention to a few, so that you know who is who. Katie, the lady in the pink hard hat above, is not only mum of three (including Ben in the Superman T-shirt) but is also our very hard working project manager.  She is overseeing all sort of things, from budget, to press releases - so next time you see her, give her a big pat on the back!
And the man in this digger is Simon.  He's doing a lot of the groundwork and it's amazing to watch how skillful and precise he is with such a huge machine!
