Please note that due to the poor weather forecast and the excellent progress made in today’s working party, tomorrow’s working party has been cancelled. Many thanks to the people who made the effort to attend today’s session, you did a fantastic job! To the people who didn’t make it, I hope to see you at future events. The next scheduled party is Saturday 14th Feb at 9.00am.

I would like to thank all those dedicated individuals who turned up on Saturday to help with the work party. The slipway recieved a thorough clean and a new coat of antifoul thanks to Chris Maloney and his team. The bosuns hut had a thorough clean and all the accumulated rubish thrown in the bin so you can now get through the door thanks to Struan, Barry and Paul. The guard boats were given some much needed TLC to see them through to the end of the season Toby and Faz to thank for that. As usual Mike Thomason and his Pico team cleared up the dinghy park and did the gardening along the bank. The gents changing room also recieved a clean up with Grahan Dare and his gang doing the mucking out. Finally Martyn Chas and Steve fitted the new television screen in the main bar, a job we have been thinking about for years that is now done.

It was very satisfying that some 40 or so members turned up and achieved so much in just a couple of hours. The next working party will be some time later this autumn when all the winter jobs get underway so please dont be shy in volunteering as it is a very sociable occasion where you get to meet members from other sections of the club whilst all working together to achieve some very worthwhile results.

Thanks again to all for your efforts on Saturday.

Gordon.

We will be scrubbing the slipway on Thursday night from 5pm, (19th) please bring a stiff brush etc and lend a hand, the more the easier it is for all of us, if you have a pressure washer please bring it along.

Many Thanks

Many thanks to all those who made lift in a success on Sunday, special thanks to Tony, Toby and Peter for helping with everyones mooring connections, Roger, Jason and Spratty for their help with the co-ordination which made the day run so well, shame the weather was a bit unkind however it was a good laugh.
