Work party sunday 26th September 10am

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Another great work party today with at least 25 people turning out, perhaps more as some never got to the clubhouse and I may not have got your names. If you are not mentioned below please email me and I will add you to our records. A lot of work was done today including a large amount of snow fencing, some ditching, some pylon painting, electrics checked on the lifts and telephone system repaired, the ticket office (aka chicken hut) was moved to a more suitable place and painted and fencing erected to direct people to it. We also had the grass cut on all the runs so that they look good enough to ski on already! Thank you to all who helped -Sue, Colin, James X 2, Martin, Richard X 2,Peter, Paul, Ivan, Lyn, Ann, Rod, Chuck, Steve X 2, Mike, Shane, Wayne and those whose names I never got.

The only downside of today was that the Rolba broke down. Hopefully it will be fixed for the work party on sunday 26th September 10am start (thanks in anticipation Rod). If it is fixed then the work party will proceed fullspeed as we have a lot to do and lots of hands needed. If it is not fixed the work party will still proceed but as our main workhorse would not be available then the opportunities may be limited and we may not need as many. I will try and send out an email to all who are planning to come on Saturday with more information but can all those who are planning to come on Sunday email me so I have a list and can contact you directly when we know the situation.

Finally we have again been offered free VIP tickets to the Telegraph Ski + Board show at the NEC in Birmingham on 29-31st Oct. This offer is only to WSC members. Last year several members went and gave glowing reports so if anyone takes up the offer (details below) please feedback to me and I will pass on your comments to others.
