Avon Tyrrell Update September 2011

Hi all, we hope you are enjoying the Summer?

Gosh what a night Wednesday was.... A strange overpowering smell from our cellar resulted in the turnout from our local fire brigade backed up by their hazmat team to see what the problem was.  Once the team investigated the strange smell was identified as a fridge that was leaking gasses and not as some of the staff thought, the maintenance teams sandwiches! The fridge was removed and is now in the process of being disposed of.  We would like to extend our appreciative thanks to the local fire brigade for their prompt turnout and investigation and identification of what the problem was. 



In the last couple of weeks those very nice people from B&Q have been back to work on the project to the South of our lakes with our maintenace staff.  The teams from HR Shared Services and Finance have seen the major accomplishment of the bulk of the vegetation that was required to be removed being completed.  We now have to get a digger in to remove the roots and landscape the area back to as close to the original Grade II landscape as possible. We will also now work on improving the access path and providing seating places and extra fishing platforms.  Still plenty to do but what a fantastic job B&Q volunteers have done.  We are very grateful.  And if anyone has a spare £80k we would like to build in this area a continual rail high ropes facility for use by the local community and all our visitors, we can dream....!




And finally do you know who this is.... She has a special birthday next week and whilst we would not like to tell you how old other than it is between 39 and 41 J we would all like to say Happy Birthday Kath have a wonderful day.
