How many workers does it take to fix a band saw?

In the case of the abattoir saw which broke down last week, about a dozen if you count all the helpful people, both amateur and professional, who sprang to our aid and helped diagnose the problem, locate and deliver the parts and get them installed. Thanks to all involved, including the many electricians who responded to our call for help, and the volunteer butchers from Country Grocer who helped to finish the lamb cutting in a timely manner. It’s great to know that so many people are willing to pitch in when things start to go wrong.

The staff and directors appreciate this demonstration of widespread community support for the service the abattoir provides.
