Big Clean-up

Over fifty men gathered at the showgrounds for a working bee to repair damage done in the April storm. Most of the damage was around the boundaries where large trees had fallen. Some ground had to be re-levelled and a few boundary fences repaired. Very little damage was done to buildings.
