Poo Sales Mushroom Bag Up
Much toil by Sam, Brian, Malcolm Kitchen, Bill, Neil, Hamish, Peter S, Doug, Vyvyan, Stan, Graeme and Murray.Mushroom compost was flying in all directions.
Motivation was helped by a beer.
Stan was in a boiler suit and looking like he had been on a 'P' raid.
Hamish had a surprise lady friend visit for pea straw.
Great effort by all.
Murray the Lion took some pictures which will appear soon.
