Working bee - 29 & 30 May 2004

Dear Downhill Ski Club Member

The committee would very much like your assistance during the above weekend. After a few years of magnificent effort tackling some big projects, there are a few smaller projects that need doing in order to keep both of your lodges warm, dry and comfortable.

Remember that for every day that you help, in addition to the satisfaction that comes from doing your bit, you gain a nights credit to your accommodation account, as well as having a couple of nights free accommodation and free meals during the working bee weekend.

The following is the list of projects that will suit all abilities and weather conditions;
