2009 Work Parties |
WORK PARTIES
Thank you to all the volunteers who turned up to help on
Saturday 28th Feb. A lot of work was completed and I'm sure all
members will appreciate your efforts.
Most obviously, we have a greatly improved launching area, and a
new
weather station, and members were hard at work completing
many other jobs that we all take for granted - so thank you all!
See the pictures here.
The club depends upon volunteers to undertake minor maintenance
tasks at the club work parties are therefore arranged from 09.30
to 13.30 on the following dates:
|
Saturday 28 Feb 2009
Saturday 4 April 2009
Saturday 11 July 2009
Saturday 17 Oct 2009
Please make every effort to attend at least two sessions.
