Slipway Tidy Up - Sat 3rd March 2012

The beginning of March sees the Topper junior coaching starting
We need your help to clear the slipway!
It is full of rocks and other debris that needs to be cleared to make things a bit easier to get the dinghies up and down the slip.
We plan to have a go at doing this next Saturday 3rd March.
Low tide is at 12.30 in the afternoon so we are going to be at the club at 11am to get things started and your help would be greatly appreciated!
Just make sure you wear some wellies and old clothes, and bring a spare shovel if you have one!
