The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
The above work party has been cancelled due to a number of reasons and will now be held in August prior to the traditional September work parties.
We have held 2 work parties so far and have managed to get a lot of work done despite a misereable turnout from members. Only 3 members joined the first work party, thanks John, Ann and Lyn for turning out and the only non-committee members this weekend were 2 of the committees children! Remember this is your club and if you want the machines to work, the fences repaired, the rushes cut and the slopes prepared, bridges fixed, boggy areas drained, club hut tidied and timber treated............... someone has to do it and the committee are all busy with full-time jobs as well as doing all the above so come on and help out now and then!
I will email out dates before the next work parties and hope attendances improve. I will also try and get the dates on the website which is currently being refreshed.
One of our members has a chalet in Morzine that he rents out and has asked if I can mention it in an email - this is the link to the company who oversees it - http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/france/FR4976.htm

Work party tomorrow (Sunday 17th June)
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Just a reminder that the work party tomorrow starts at 10am from the carpark and anyone welcome. The weather promises to be drier than today but the ground will be wet so remember to bring good footwear - wellies or boots and warm clothing as it can get cold up there even in the middle of summer (if that is what you call our current weather!).
Below is an opportunity for a couple to have a season skiing and catering if anyone is interested. I have no connection at all with the people offering the job having simply been emailed the offer so cannot vouch for it but it could be tempting to someone.

Dear ski club, I am contacting you to see whether you would be able to circulate or post up the following advert to your members? If so we would be very grateful and hope that it might be of interest to your members. Many thanks, Kate and Mark, St Martin Solutions.
Winter Season 2012/13, do you want to work in the Three Valleys ski area, France?
We are looking for a special couple or two friends to join our small personally-run property management business, taking care of luxury ski properties, providing a range of services to their owners and guests. Mid-November 2012- end April 2013.
So what's stopping you spending a winter season in the Alps?
Do you have some experience in hospitality, housekeeping, hotel work, property caretaking or similar? Recent references, lots of enthusiasm, energy and commitment? Have you got an eye for detail and are you handy with a hoover? Can you see yourself living in a snowy village with access to the Three Valleys ski area a few minutes away? Have you got a car and can you drive in winter road conditions? Are you ready to work hard and play hard, speak some French, make some new friends, have an adventure? If so, we are offering a great package with quality accommodation and lots of benefits for the right people.
If you think this could be the job for you please contact us now for a job description and further details: enquiries@stmartinsolutions.comThursday, 7 June 2012
WSC work parties and AGM
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying our glorious summer? It's hard to think we are near the summer solstice already and that of course means the WSC summer work parties. We are planning to hold 6 work parties this summer, 3 in June and 3 in September. The 3 in June take place on Wednesday 13th, Sunday 17th and Saturday 23rd and all commence at 10 am meeting at the car park. This is the opportunity for any members to help out in the preparation for the winter season, especially with heavy jobs and jobs where many hands are needed. We have tried to spread them out so that they are on different days to fit in with people's other committments. Skill level needed varies from pure manual labour to electrical and mechanical skills, so something to suit all.
If you plan to attend for all or part of the day, please can you reply to this email so we have some idea of numbers. No need to reply to apologise for absences of which there will be 100's!
The AGM this year is being held on Tuesday 13 November at the Honest Lawyer, Croxdale, Durham. This is advance notice for your diaries. This year we are planning to keep the AGM fairly short and give a slide show/talk on an expedition to the Antarctic by Stu Gallagher involving ski touring, ice climbing, sea kayaking etc. If this is successful then hopefully we will continue the format in future years so your feedback would be much appreciated. Please also note the day of the AGM is a Tuesday this year, not the normal Monday as the Honest Lawyer was already booked.
I will email the dates of the September work parties nearer the time but provisionally they are on 9th, 23rd and 26th September.
If you wish to be removed from this email list then please reply to this email with "remove from email" in the subject header.
Have a good summer
