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!
