Construction Begins

Alan Parr, Robin Howell, Tony Duval, Steve Allen, Ron Vowles and Chris Mockridge: waiting for the concrete to arrive
The first of 5 loads arrives on time

Dave Ford’s concrete pump delivers the goods
All hands to rake & shovel

Dudley White & Robin Howell directing the flow
Chris Mockridge & Mick Perdue take a rest

Chris Mockridge getting it level
Mick Perdue, Steve Allen & Alan Parr shovel and rake when John Grogan shouts “action”

Halfway there & the pump changes sides to reach those tricky places
Pushing the mountings for the pillars into the concrete
 

These have to be exactly placed otherwise the pillars will not fit over the bolts
Hold ’em down so they don’t move!

Nearly finished
Cannot resist scribbling in fresh concrete

Ron Vowles, Chris Mockridge, & others admire their handiwork
Barbara Vowles prepares a well earned cuppa for the workers
