A visit to the work shop on Tuesday May 27th 2008

Jo and I visited the Gig this week to look at progress and it has certainly come on in the last few weeks . Jo is talking to Gail Macarva about the next step in the construction. Sorry we forgot to switch on the lights!

This is the big day we need all the help we can muster
