Ruffian Lift out:
The Ruffian was lifted out last Friday
afternoon, had its bottom cleaned, moved on its dodgy trailer to its new
location in the
Maintenance day:
Thanks to all that attended the biggest
maintenance day in years! Hope you learned something, made new contacts in
SID and ENJOYED it! After the recent storms and bad weather we had a
super day weather wise for the end of October which allowed (a bit of ) a BBQ! First time I ever planned a BBQ a
month in advance and got to weather to have it! Now all I have to do
is brush up on my culinary skills!
A lot of repairs, rigging, cleaning, inventory
checks, shopping etc was done and
the inventory will be typed up and put on our website in the next few
weeks. The work done will assist in the planning for getting the boats
into good shape for the start of next year.
Again thanks to Eamonn,
Carlos, Paul, Una, Marguerite, Nigel, Ann Mulvin, Liam, Aidan, Susan, Colm,
Tricia, Joan, Chris, Cearbhall, Michael Hanley, Noel, Carina, Ann Coyne
and Bryan for attending and helping out.
Pictures of the day are located at http://homepage.eircom.net/~sidclub/pictures/mtceOct04/index.html
Volunteers:
I need a couple of volunteers to do some
typing. I have a number of application forms from previous years from
which I want contact details entered into a spreadsheet. (about
an hours work for a good typist!) Can anyone assist?
Also, if anyone would like to assist me in
organising a fundraising event (e.g. table quiz/disco etc) in aid of the
RNLI in Q105 please contact me. Why volunteer? Well you may meet new people,
make new networking contacts, learn or develop skills and get the
satisfaction of a job well done! (and it might help
you forget about work!!)
Saturday Dinghy Sailing:
There will be a normal dinghy session on
Saturday 6th in the afternoon. If you want to sail please contact Gearóid
