First summer work party Saturday 8 June

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

I know it doesn't feel like summer yet but the first of the WSC summer work parties is planned next weekend (Saturday 8 June) starting at 10am. You are all welcome to attend and skills are not necessary as there will be jobs for all to do from repairing snow fencing to removing and servicing the hangars. Please try and attend at least one work party if possible as we do need as many hands as possible to make sure the slopes are ready for yet another fantastic season next year.

This coming work party we are hoping to train up a few people to become tow operators and will also be addressing how to safely climb the pylons and practice rescue procedures for people injured at heights. If you are interested in becoming a tow operator please try and attend but please note this inolves more then just being able to start and stop the tows. You will need to be trained how to deal with basic breakdowns, how to remove and replace hangars etc. Once trained you will assist one of the experienced tow operators until confident enough to operate unsupervised. If you feel that you might be able to volunteer as a tow operator, in particular we are keen for people available on weekdays, then please email me. It would be nice to have some idea of how many people plan to attend the work party so please can you drop me an email if you intend to join us? There will be more work parties in June (Currently we have Wednesday 12 and Sunday 23 pencilled in and I will confirm these later on).

Also don't forget that the North Face 30% sale is on this weekend - if you are wanting to buy anything from their shop you will need to print off the attached voucher and take along. Please mention WSC if you do make use of this offer.
