I'm sure there will be plenty of willing volunteers Michaelmas weekend.

We are thinking of changing the Aveling's Name to "Burrell Beater" or one wag has said "Duck Killer" ;)

I did suggest he put his professional Latvian engine polisher on one of your courses Joe.

Then he's have both a 'man', and a polisher.

Already exists locally.

But I would vote for ANGELICA

Does BF have anything to do with this or do we simply tell him?

Avellana is a lovely engine. A shame to see her leave these parts... but congraulations to the new owners, hope you have lots of fun with her!
