Boat Shed Clean Out!
Calling all sailors!!
Saturday 10th May from 9:30am
It’s that time of year again for some spit & polish and to chase the rats out of the shed!
Many Hands Make Light Work - The More The Merrier!
We’ve big plans to get through everything in the shed this year, inventorise the kit for each boat, clear away and tidy up all spare and unused equipment.
With everything out of the shed it will be a great opportunity to try and track down those wandering sails and spars; and to help wash the dust down we’ll have a sailors special at the bar along with some snacks on the bbq.
It will also be an opportunity for a review of the condition of our beautiful skiffs and develop an action plan for repairs and maintenance.
So if you are interested, able and willing (and don’t want the rats to eat your kite) then please join us.
To be sure we have enough snags and patties, please RSVP by replying to this email.
