A word of thanks to the 107ist/Timbers Army members who participated in the ‘Work Party’ at the Conway’s ‘new’ home yesterday. Timber/Jim and Mike [Coleman] can tell you more specifically who was there but we had around 20 volunteers all told which turned out to be a perfect number – enough to get the work done expeditiously but not too many that people didn’t feel personally involved in the project. I’ve attached a group photo and Mike took photos to share with members of your organization too.

Under the leadership of Timber Jim who taught us ‘city folk’ many valuable skills including tying knots, the group had an enjoyable day clearing out the Conway’s back yard. The ‘skip’ was filled in record time and Noeleen, true to form, provided cold drinks and food which provided everyone with an opportunity to meet and greet others.

As a former Timber, a former team-mate on Jimmy’s and a fellow ‘Ring-of-Honor’ member of Jimmy and Timber Jim I was extremely proud of the way that everyone contributed to the call for support. Timber Jim is to be thanked for the impetus and a big thank you is in order for your group.

Thanks for your help and support. It is much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Mick Hoban
