A very successful “out of season” work party was held on 9 March 2024, when a huge effort was put in. There was a real buzz around the club and it definitely felt everyone was looking forward to the new season and being back at the club.

A huge amount of jobs were completed:
1. Skip filled – good bye to the faithful red dory that has been with the club for a long long time! Play pontoon separated and disposed (no longer safe).
