Allan
MacVie: The one man scottish powerhouse of labour on the site. When
everyone else downs tools to go for lunch, Allan will often be the
last. Travelling for aproximatley 3 days just to get to Wychurst he
is a more than valuable asset to the team. A solid fellow, who has
shifted more than his= fair share of poo, and been an inspiration
to the rest of us. Long may he continue his enthusiasm. Allan can
be found with the daubers... or inhabiting the sky at night like some
form of bear god. |

Charlie
Culver: Often referred to as the Sphinx (you will find out when you
meet him), Charlie is an invaluable worker on the palisade. And the
man responsible for starting up the crew that helped scallop and dig
out the bag of the longhall and backfill the rest of the palisade.
An excellent worker, and man who well deserves his mesure of port
around the fire. Can be found telling crude jokes with the rest of
the palisaders on the clay pile. |

his hands to most things on the site including Daubing, plastering,

And Ash Coleman: Brambles tremble in fear when they hear Spook setting
foot on the site for he is the man who the sound of the strimmer is
best associated with. An excellent worker who after a session in strimming
the brambles can often be mistaken for jack in the green. Can be found
by the sound of th strimmer around the burgh.Ash (spooks young lad),
is by no means to be underestimated for his size. Pulling more than
his weight around the site he is a worthy asset to the palisade crew.

Steve
Etheridge: Grand high king of poo and master of lime. If its brown
and smells this man is the man for the job. A veritable taskmaster

an army to his cause and with the help of his crew finished daubing
the hall in the work week of 2006... now all he has to do is plaster
it. |

Gracie!: Mad as a box of frogs... and probably madder to think of it Gracie (not Gavins dog) made herself known in regia and at wychurst by doing some of the craziest things around the site, Including using a childs sandpit as a raft and attempting to sail it around the burgh when the water was high. Grace has turned her hands to many things including shingling, plastering and site clearance. Can normally be found either stuck to the side of the hall covered in lime or swimming in the moat. |
