                               The annual sign on day for Memberships was held yesterday 

                            with a team of volunteer members turning out for ramp cleaning,

                                                                              

Led by Vice Commodore Martin Cooper , dressed for the occasion

Lex Moran arrived with the big toys - that saved some back breaking work! 

David Cue did some oyster picking , and the team were ably supported by
Peter Leask, Sheldon Haines, Rob Graham, Ray Hobbs and Martin Ten Bensel.

      Peter Mann has been busy fixing the canopies on Herc and Red Rib for the new season as well.

A big thanks to all those people. There will be other opportunities throughout the year for everyone to have a chance to assist your club!
