Working Party

26 April - Working Party

The first working party of the year and there's always lots to do which included slipping our Yanmar powered rescue boat for a clean up and re-paint, a much overdue job. There was external painting to be done plus the usual ground work. Weeds and grass don't stop growing for anyone. The day got started around 10:30am with a cup of coffee and then the work was divided up amongst the following stalwart members:-

My apologies if I have missed anybody, it's easy to do. As you can see 32 people came to help on the day, our largest number ever.

Team 1 painted the club exterior, Team 2 stripped the old paint from the boards under the Bosun's Store, Team 3 dug out the spoil from under the quarter deck which was left over from its construction and Team 4 handled ground works from the trailer park all the way up to the moorings. Team 5 made sure there was tea and coffee available throughout the day and prepared a hot, sit down, lunch for everybody.

Although Nigel thanked everybody on the day he has asked me to emphasis how much all the hard work was appreciated in getting the club looking its best for the open weekend. First impressions are important and I think the old club is now looking like a place that, hopefully, members feel is progressing and that visitors would like to become a part of. Again, a big thank you to all the above, for a job well done.
