Spring Work Parties

Published 17:47 on 30 Mar 2025

With two weeks to crane-in, many jobs around the club were tackled by various work parties on the weekend of 29th / 30th March.

An enthusiastic gardening party worked on the bank to the north of the clubhouse, cutting back earth, grass and weeds from the roadway and trimming overhanging branches. Meanwhile further vegetation was cut and trimmed around the dinghy park.

Another group launched the workboat and gave all the moorings a final check before crane-in, looking for any damage or debris which had accumulated over the winter. They found that four of the stainless steel rings were distorted and one was partly corroded. All five were replaced and a lot of branches were removed from the river.

Two lengths of spare chain were recovered from the river and put in the dinghy park for future use.

Not to be left out, the Commodore spent the weekend cleaning the main slipway!

Many thanks are due to all who helped with these jobs, which keep the club running for us all to enjoy our sailing.
