Work party Sunday 23 June

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Hi Everyone

 The second Ski Club work party is on this Sunday (23^rd).

 We will be practicing pylon rescue techniques so, if you are a lift operator or wish to become one, then it is important that you know how to operate the new working at height equipment. There are also lots of other routine jobs which require constant attention, such as, fencing and painting and some vehicle maintenance etc.

 The Club relies on volunteer help so please try to attend at least one work party per year if you can. It would be helpful 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?

 We will be meeting as usual in the car park at around 10 am

 Hope to see you there.

 Mike (Field Officer)

We had a very successful work party last Saturday with glorious weather and managed to get plenty of work done. There were only 9 of us there but it is quality not quantity and the quality of helpers was excellent. Thanks to all those who turned up.
The next work party is being held on Sunday 23 June at 10am so I look forward to seeing the remaining 741 members there on the day!!

Although we do like quality we do also need quantity for some of the manual jobs like fencing, stone removal, ditching etc so please come along and join in th fun.

One of the activities we are planning at the next work party is a demonstration of how to rescue somebody from the pylons using our new rescue kit and test dummy! We spent a bit of time practising with the equipment last weekend and think we have sorted out how to use it safely and feel confident we can now show others how to use it. For those hoping to learn how to become tow operators we will also be running a training session for this

A quick reminder that the work party is on this Saturday 8 June but the one planned for Wednesday 12 June has been cancelled. The following work party will be Sunday 23 June. All work parties start at 10am but feel free to turn up any time or for half a day if that is all you can manage. At least the weather looks good for this one and the fell should be fairly dry.
