Boat Fixing Day
Nuala:
It might be an idea to see if we can have a boat fixing day before the varsities, we did this last year and got the light blue gola fully watertight: if we had the supplies and a few people working on it we could get a lot done.
I have a heat gun and Niall has a soldering iron, so I can have a look at some of the plastic boats. The fibreglass repair stuff is easy enough to work with - if there were a few people free we could probably get a few boats fixed.
When are people free? And if committee money could buy the supplies (resin, fibreglass, hardener, steel mesh/sieves, acetone(or other solvent for cleaning), sandpaper) before the day it could save time.
Nuala:
I'm free: This Sunday, Tuesday and Friday afternoon next week, and the following Sunday I think.
If people wanted they could take the opportunity of the boathouse being open for an afternoon to come down and outfit a boat they were planning on taking for the next few weeks also - this would make Saturday trips easier, faster and more fun.
Uisce_Emma:
Hey, Im free Tuesday afternoons from 11 til 2 if you send me a text to remind me I can come and help out!
Maryanne:
Excellent!
Spoke to Matt Flood and he's free this Sunday too, lets say a 10:30 start at the boathouse, anyone with boatfixing skills is very welcome and anyone who would like to outfit a boat for themselves for river trips is too! See you then!
To sum up:
BOAT FIXING DAY
SUNDAY 6TH OF FEBRUARY
10:30 AT THE BOATHOUSE
BOAT FIXERS AND OUTFITTERS WELCOME! (ie everybody)

That's cool! I'm not free then myself, but if there's work left to do then and people going along you're help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for offering! And if you find yourself free on Sunday, feel free to drop by, I might even bring chocolate... :D
