Work Party #1, 2013

Saturday, 22 March 2014

Today was the first work party of 2014, and it was one of the better work parties in terms of both participation and productivity.  Between the members and our new tractor (with forks and front end loader) we got more work done than usual.  The weather was also excellent for working - sunny and cool.  As usual, coffee, doughnuts, lunch, and beverages were available to participants.

The work tasks were pretty well distributed across the club facilities, so everyone benefited .  The following are the tasks that were done:

• Kitchen cleaned.
• Clubhouse windows washed.
• Raked wads around trap houses.
• Cleaned and re-stocked trap houses.
