A group of WMF members have laboured over the summer to upgrade the leaking hangar roof. The existing roof had failed in several places and was in danger of causing a bucket shortage. Despite delays caused by searing temperatures the new roof is now complete. A big thank you to all who took part, these improvements should improve run-off and keep the hangar watertight for many more years.<\/p>\n
