I don't know if this will get to all the members but I have been wanting to say for ages how much we owe to Steve and the band of regular volunteers for giving us such a brilliant winter through their dedicated efforts.  Especially appreciated has been the flow of ,almost, daily updates of the excitement and acheivements, most heartening for those of us who would like to have  been there but couldn't for one reason or another.

 

So, let's do our bit , in return, on as many work weekends as possible. They are great fun and you will recognise "your bit " for years to come and get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

Regards to all,

 

Ordinary Member, Charles.

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Don't forget that the first summer work party is taking place this sunday from 10am. If you have enjoyed the skiing this year then this is your chance to put something back into the club as there is a huge amount of work to be done.  Please try and attend at least one work party this summer if you can - it is not a lot to ask and and after all if you can come up for a days skiing then surely an occasional work party is not too much!!! Work parties used to be compulsory but this was dropped a few years ago but the result has been that a very small number of us spend many many hours up there. We are especially keen to find people to "adopt" a piece of machinery or equipment and look after it, perhaps with 2 or 3 others. This could be one of the vehicles - Pistebasher, Rolba (tracked vehicle we use in summer and currently broken!),Quad bike, skidoo or one of the 2 engines, or the hangars which need annual servicing, or the buildings which need treating regularly, or the pylons that need painting, or the grass cutting, or even a section of old snow fencing that needs repairing or one of the many new sections we are planning to build, or the bridges that need maintaining or...........................   get the picture.

We are also looking for someone who is able to give our old skidoo a good overhaul - it is a Lynx and was badly damaged this season when it rolled over a few times. If anyone has experience with motorbikes and is able to offer a hand then please contact me. The bodywork also needs repairing so if anyone is good at this then again please step forward.

Hope to see many of you on Sunday???
