We've had work parties in action at Armadale on Saturday and Sunday as we look to spruce up the stadium for the season opener on 31st March, Harrisons Scottish Open.

Co-promoter John Campbell takes up the story, "Saturday was a really poor day. Grey, misty and damp but we were able to do some preparatory work under cover in readiness for Sunday. Sunday was a much better day, quite warm and the sun breaking through eventually so we were able to get a good day's work done."

John continued, "When I left the stadium on Saturday I was thinking what have I let me self in for but it's amazing what a bit of sunshine does and we've made good progress on Sunday. I'm grateful to Grant, Graeme, April, Craig, Jim, Gordon and John for their assistance and to Paul and Derek for popping in to talk about projects we're going to undertake in the coming weeks. Even Sam and Josh popped in on Saturday and spent, at least, five minutes supervising before heading off to Denmark."

Work will continue next weekend on Saturday and Sunday, starting at 10.00am and we'd pleased to see anyone who can give a hand for an hour or two even on Sunday before heading off to see Ricky Wells and Max Clegg at the Ben Fund Bonanza at Glasgow.
