Swarm of Worker Bees at Working Bee!!

Thankyou to all members who helped this year in our hugely successful Annual Club Working Bee and especially to vice commodore Rod Barnes for organising us and keeping us on task.

There were those who came down for the early shift at the 6am low tide - removing the rubble, rocks and glass from the beach around the new Eastern Ramp (thankyou Luke Parker for organising), and then a larger group of members were working from 8am to 11am before racing.
We had a record 60 members helping out on the day! A tribute to our volunteer club culture - coming together to support the club.

We managed to get all of our annual maintenance tasks done including: dollie maintenance, rack carpets tighten and replace, workshop cleanout and tidy up, showers and bathrooms cleaning, changeroom walls patch-ups and painting, safety gear and buoys audit and fix-up, splicing new lines for anchors and dollies, sweep out and clear the floor under the racks, cleaning tables and chairs, tidy handicappers desk, club boats maintenance and clean, LTR sails audit, clean rubbish off the southern deck, kitchen tidy and clean, cladding repairs, replacing various floor and deck boards, install new grate at washdown taps, cleanout the Jazzman and the two RIBs, various door and window seals and bolts. Thankyou Geoff Kirk who has also arranged for other trade repairs around the club - fixing gutters and other specialised fixes.
