Tom Chapman, John Cooper, Mark Easterling (Bean), Pete Hellier, Will Reed and Wayne Starsmore. Initial task was to fix the bottom drag tray properly. The rope that was attached to the handle was cut in half and rearranged so that it was fixed independently to both ends of the drag tray. This ensures the tray runs smoothly without running over the rope. Then with Pete at the dig face, Tom and Bean taking it in turns to break up rocks and see who could fill the buckets the fullest, Will and John hauling and Wayne stacking at the bottom of Four-Tonne shaft 42 loads were hauled up the bottom shaft. There is still a lot of small stuff at the dig face but no space at the bottom of Four-Tonne shaft. The top ladder of Nut Pitch was brought out for checking and cleaning. Notice also brought out. 2½ hours.
