October Work Party and Model Yatching Open Meeting
|
THANKS TO THE 30 PEOPLE WHO MADE THE EFFORT TO COME TO THE WORK PARTY ON 6TH OCT.
Special thanks to Curtis who delivered more scalpings, and the guys, including young Rupert, who filled in the pot holes, yet again. All the overhanging branches have been cut back again – the damage the rain has been doing to the drive this summer has been horrendous.
Mark and his crew have created a further 20 boat park spaces. Dean and Newton, having cleared the wall area, with ‘great difficulty!!!! ‘ got the flat packed IKEA cupboard together and up on the wall, for all the 1st Aid equipment. Louise re painted the area as well, after she and Richard had been working on the new starting box – nearly finished I am told.
Catherine made all the windows shine – Nigel cleared and tidied the loft area, even washing the sailing boot trays. Dene addressed the missing lights in the clubhouse and lots of cleaning and tidying was done in the clubhouse as well.
Meanwhile the MODEL YACHTERS HAD THEIR OPEN MEETING. Another success despite the light winds, with 8 visitors, coming from as far away as Leicester and Emsworth, to enjoy the delights of Reading Sailing Club. Despite the 16th race (they only have 5 minute races!!) being cancelled due to lack of wind, they all seemed to enjoy themselves, overseen by John and Brian, judging and scoring respectively. A good day was had by all – the glorious sunshine helped.
