Our Work Party got a new toy piece of equipment today …..
….. a half ton dumper truck.
We collected it from Sleaford Rugby Club.
It is a gift from the Sleaford Navigation Trust, which no longer needs it.
We took our faithful Tangerine Dream Mark ll, pulling a trailer that we borrowed from Rob Key.
After a spot of bother on the very slippery ramps …..
….. we got it loaded and securely strapped on.
The arrival at Staveley caused the expected interest.
Ralph was the first to have a go put it through a rigorous field test.
As you can see, it is fitted with the latest satellite technology.
This is to answer the inevitable question.
We must than the Sleaford Navigation Trust most sincerely for this fantastic donation.
We must also thank Rob and Patricia Key for the use of their trailer.
