Richard and Glen on the forks today – Amazing- you guys were on the go all day! Fiona thank you for being an amazing visual space coordinator- ensuring every inch of space was filled!

The 3 AMIGOS – Hamish / Alfred / Fraser – each year these 3 young Men bring their expertise and muscle to get the job done. 8 years now you turn up rain hail or shine. Much gratitude and pride for what you do!
