Work Party #1, 2011

Saturday, 26 March 2011

The first work party of the year is mostly maintenance to recover from the winter rain and wind.  The second purpose is to get a head start on the Spring chores - mowing, fertilizing, and the like.  We had a good turn-out, and got a lot done.  Lunch was sandwiches from Fisher's Meats, soda, and adult beverages.  The work included:

• Cleaned the clubhouse, mopped the floor, wiped the tables, and dusted everthing.
• Cleaned the kitchen and the vent over the stove and grill.
• Picked up and removed trash from the 50 and 100 yard ranges.
• Replaced target frames on the 50 and 100 yard ranges.
• Spliced the cable on the east 50 yard range.
• Removed the dead tree leaning on the west wall of the west 50 yard range.
• Filled potholes in the road and parking areas with gravel.
• Cleaned trap houses, and loaded them with clay targets.
• Cleaned the conex in preparation for another load of targets.
• Picked up loads of dead branches.
• Mowed grass in the park and around the trap pads.
• Spread fertilizer on new lawn in park and front of club house.
• Transplanted the pine tree near club house entrance into the park.
• The old straw and cedar bails along with the rest of the debris were removed from the archery area.
• The old archery targets were moved a few feet forward and can be used until the new carpet backstop is finished.
• The footing for the new concrete pad is ready to be set in place for the concrete pour.
