The regular Social meetings resume at Wivenhoe Sailing Club this month.

Just a reminder about the sheds working party at the weekend.

There are a few jobs that are in need of tackling this weekend.
Current list of possibles
1) Moving hard core into furthest corner of the plot. Smashing it into small pieces.
2) Seeing if the benches in the west shed can be moved (emptied, cleared and dismantled)
3) Refitting benches in the “cleared shed from last working party day”
4) Clearing rubbish (9.am Saturday) Bill and I will meet and give a hand.
5) Mixing some cement to fill cracks in South wall.
6) Weeding and hoeing around front of sheds, and concrete surfaces.
7) Extracting a galvanised tank from North side of sheds with a view to cutting it into sizes to cover remaining open drain on north side of sheds.
8) Sweep out sheds.

With these jobs in mind, bring gloves, hoes, snips, wheelbarrows?? ( There are a couple there and we’ll bring one.) Anything you have that will help you with any of the above jobs.
Look forward to seeing you.
Bacon rolls to be provided, with tea and coffee.

Brenda

Members wishing to go to the Heybridge rally should let Dave know as soon as possible as space in the lock is limited. Give Dave your boat name length and beam. Also the evening meal at the Jolly Sailor needs to know numbers, so let Dave know if you want to be booked in for a meal, and how many.

This year the rally will be on Saturday June 30th, Bernie Heatherington is coordinating.

As longer standing members will be aware, there is a tradition of mutual support between the various clubs on the Wallet. This is one of the reasons we are able to hold our meetings in the Wivenhoe sailing club on the first Monday.

This is just a reminder that members are cordially invited to participate in the various cruises organised by WSC. The next scheduled event is to the backwaters at the beginning of June.

The calendar of events can be found here. http://www.wivenhoesailing.org.uk/what-is-on
