Work party report

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

A very successful work party was held today with a lot of good work done outside until mid afeternoon when the rain came after which we moved indoors. We have managed to build several sections of new snowfencing opening up a new route to the west, cut some reeds, painted some pylons, repaired some worn bearings on the lift and serviced some of the hangars. As usual, despite my pleas for help and all the empty promises people make in the winter, the response was fairly pathetic. Given that we have nearly 800 members we had a grand total of 6 volunteers and 4 of us from the committee. If you want a successful ski club we do need more support from the grassroot membership.
Great thanks to those who did turn up today and enjoyed a really good day - Wayne (great job on the stile + fell gate), Richard (snow fencing + hangar servicing), Amy + Richard (pylons) and Dave + Christian (pylons) - thank you from all of us.


Next work party Sunday 27th June. There will be more and we will try and arrange one or two mid week dates for those that cannot make weekends. Come on and give it a try - you never know you might actually have a great day!
