Blog- SR Class V ‘Schools’: ‘Rugby’ - Sorting out the snags and finding some new ones...

[RSS Fetcher]

<p>Having left you all a while ago while I sorted things, we now have a update. First off is the tender. My plan was to replace the flimsy sides with something more substantial. So, removal of the old sides went well, but the slots close to the edge of the floor split - so while we have the fretsaw out, cut a new floor.

So, cut and fit new ones. Back soon...</p><p> </p><p>
