Due to conflicting commitments, local agricultural shows and holidays the dates for the work parties in September have had to be altered. The new dates will be Sunday 18th and Sunday 25th September both commencing at 10am. The planned work parties on the 11th + 14th have had to be cancelled. All are welcome and these will be the last 2 formal work parties of the summer so the last chance for those 750+ members who haven't managed to attend a work party to make amends!!!!

work party report
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A very successful work party was held yesterday with 22 people in attendance and was followed by a BBQ which approximately 1/2 stayed on for.
Jobs completed include
1, de-stoning the M1 piste which will hugely improve the run and make it safer to bodies and ski equipment!
2, painting and fibre glassing parts of the new Piste-basher
3, Repositioning some of the snow fencing at the bottom of the new "West Run"
4, Repairs to the return bridge on the "Midi route"
5, Filling in some of the bogs on the access path with stones cleared from the M1
6, Servicing some of the hangars - these are being given a complete overhaul - the first in 35 years, to remove all the hardened oil etc and replace worn parts.
7, Planting of some saplings near the new garage
8, I am sure other work was also carried out that I was not aware of - sorry if I have missed anyone out!
Thanks to Chloe, Derek, James, Richard, Ivan, Hannah, Ian X 2, Philip, Hugh, Anne, Richard, Kimberley, Lyn, Conrad and the committee members - Mike, Shane, Terry, Simon, Judy, Kevin + myself - nice to see so many there.
There will be 3 more work parties in September - details will be emailed out nearer the time - provisionally these are Sunday 11th September, Wednesday 14th September and Sunday 25th September but may change as I am on holiday for the first 2!

Work party Saturday 13th August
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A quick reminder that next Saturday we will be having an additional work party at Swinhope followed by a BBQ. The work party will start at 10am as usual and we will have the BBQ late afternoon. We will provide the BBQ so all you need to do is bring your own food and drinks.
There are lots of jobs to be done for all levels of skills and abilities and please feel free to bring along friends or other family members. We will provide any tools that are needed so just bring along some old warm clothing (it can get cold up there even in August) and some sturdy shoes/boots/wellies.
If you intend to attend please can you reply to this to give me some idea of numbers.
