WSC BBQ and work party 13th Aug

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Hi everybody and hope you are all having a great summer. Skiing is perhaps not your main priority at the moment but nevertheless work is ongoing preparing the slopes for next season. WSC renewal forms will be sent out to all current members towards the end of August and we will be accepting renewals from 1st September. All current members who renew by the end of September will be guaranteed a place and from the 1st October we will be opening up membership to everybody. As Alison, our membership secretary, has a significant waiting list we anticipate being oversubscribed again this year so would urge you to renew as soon as possible. From the 1st October applications will be procesed on a first come, first served basis so existing members should ensure that they renew by 31st September to guarantee a place - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AND THE MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY WILL ADHERE TO THE RULE THIS YEAR - no more sob stories accepted!!

Breaking with tradition, in an attempt to encourage more at work parties, we are planning to hold a work party followed by a BBQ on Saturday 13th August. We will provide the BBQ but you will need to bring your own food for it. If the weather is good there is also the option of camping out overnight and making a weekend of it. Children are welcome but must at all times be the responsibility of their parents or guardians - this important given the terrain and machinery used. There will be child friendly jobs like stone picking from the M1 (whoever said child labour was immoral!). I will email more details nearer the day and would be grateful for some idea of numbers so if anyone is interested then please reply to me.

HELP NEEDED.
1, The Polaris, our newest Skidoo, has broken down and needs some work on it. The clutch has been playing up and was catching early but recently cut out completely and won't now start. If anyone has the time and knowledge and is prepared to have a look at it then please contact me or Mike Leatherland.
2, The new PisteBasher needs some work on the attachments. The spreader bar could do with some fibreglassing and painting and the tiller needs derusting and painting. Again if anyone has the skill, time and willingness to help then please contact either myself or Mike.

Hope you all have a fantastic summer


Steve
