Working Bee

Vice Commodore Rod Barnes directing the work…
Thankyou to all members who attended the annual working bee. A very respectable turnout of 57 members helped out in last Saturday, and with the fine weather, this group tackled the following tasks:
Replacing some of the deck timbers
Scraping and repainting facia boards on the north gable (above the deck)
Replacing some of the cladding boards (including painting)
Sweeping shed floor beneath the Laser racks
Replacing rack beams on the east side, creating a little more vertical clearance
De-cluttering and cleaning the workshop, including replacing fluorescent tubes
Repairing wheels and replacing noodles on the club trolleys (including the stacking “away” trolleys)
Pressure washing the ramp
Collecting, sorting and fixing components of the training boats (centreboards, rudders, tillers, spars)
Checking and updating first aid and rescue packs
Thanks to Rod for planning and directing the operation, as well as carting away a lot of the rubbish. And for Paul and Shirley in the kitchen (and in particular for the brownies).
Also, as special shout out to those that stayed very late to put away a significant number of boats that had been left on the rigging lawn.
