A very small dedicated band of members are often seen doing weird rituals around the Zetor tractor and a green monster, so secret , it is kept under a yellow taupalin hidden from view. The handsignals given to the tractor driver are many and varied, some say they originate from the Mason's. A study of the said hand signals and speech dialects of Wooo, yup, up a bit, argh, down a bit, bu**er me, right a bit, left a nadge, grease 'er up can reveal a very mis-spent youth in the farm yard , all of this without a full moon or an 'Ar in the month. So what is the green monster and what does it do, the secret can only be seen on special days, some members have admitted never to have seen this green monster and believe those that have seen it, had been on the Cyprus Brandy (but then that's another tale , or should that be video). To the uninitiated the monster causes the green grass to shiver , our luscious grass is subjected to a good thrashing, grade 4 in a barbershop terms , the monster throwing all caution to wind, carries on until the Zetor, driver and members watching can take no more and hide the green monster away again. Who are the members of the Green Monster Appreciation Society I hear you ask, well when the Bar is open at the end of a flying day, just go and look to see any members with grass in their turn-up's , wind swept hair , gesticulating in weird manners, talking in hushed tones, only then will you have found the Grass Cutters of Olde Upwood Airfield, [Dave Oh-Argh Mansfield, Farmer Eyup Palmer, Josuah (B&W) Bennett, Typhus Turner, 'Dad' Crackers and a very select few more] buy them a drink cos they can turn very nasty when they is "Sober", and remember the green monster is lurking in the shadows for those that don't.
