A Big THANK YOU to all our busy working bees

The club had an outstanding response to our call for volunteers.  The plan to put volunteers in small teams worked a treat. We cleaned the nipper, board, ski, patrol, kiosk, bar, store and change rooms, repaired the big sliding door to the deck, installed new soap dispensers, finished our display boards, fixed curtains and most importantly got to know lots of new members.

For all those who volunteered, we have placed your names on the door for free entry into our Kick Off Night this Saturday 19th of October and watch out for your invitation to our volunteers night on Friday 8th of November.
