Working Bee This Weekend

When: This Sunday, August 6th, 9am start

Where: 21 Key Lane, Pakenham

Sausage Sizzle: Held at around 12pm for all volunteers

The main priority for this working bee is again general mowing and poisoning along fence lines, reclaiming the area near the silo and around the containers, slashing the paddock next to the Clubhouse, plus removing as much scrap metal as possible.

Vehicle maintenance tasks:

• The little ride-on mower has a suspected electric gremlin – are there any mower whisperers in the club?
• Likewise, JD the tractor needs a cuddle regarding its fuel supply.
• Also, we still need to find Burnie the Tractor a new home – we need to clean up around him, and gather together all of his belongings and components, so that we can list him on Marketplace.

Other fun and exciting jobs include:

• Removing all rocks/rubbish around the Clubhouse.
• Filling in all holes in the mortar, vermin proofing the Clubhouse.
• Clean the toilet blocks.
• Attack the mystery mound of stuff, so we can work out what grass has grown over, and remove items as required.
• Start/empty the fire vehicle pump, and replace put some fresh water into the system.
• Ongoing fire extinguisher/ battery hunt. Bonus points if you bring your own old car battery for the club to turn into funds!

If you have a skillset, trade, or ability to do anything that you think would, could or should benefit the club, please let us know. We will be more than happy to put you to use.

If you would like any more information, please feel free to call Anthony on 0414733621

Save the date: The next working bee will be held on Sunday the 10th of September.

Unfortunately, due to the continued wet weather, we have made the reluctant decision to cancel the Motorkhana scheduled for Sunday, July 23rd. That said, with a positive long-range forecast and continued work to improve drainage around the grounds, we are highly optimistic that our August 13th Motorkhana will be all systems go – watch this space for updates!

Following the fantastic success of our most recent working bee, we are looking to keep the momentum rolling this weekend!

WHEN: Sunday 16th of July, 9am start

WHERE: 21 Key Lane, Pakenham

A sausage sizzle will be held at around midday for all volunteers present

This working bee's main priority is general mowing, whipper snipping and tidying up around the clubhouse, ensuring that the grounds are ready for next weekend’s HRA event and our very own Come & Try Day.

Many hands make light work, with some of the other items we are looking to tick off the list including:

→ Removing all rocks/rubbish around the clubhouse and burying the blue line pipe

→ Repair the smudger back to its former glory, and move it from the front of the clubhouse

→ Replacing a power point (a qualified sparky would be most welcomed!)

→ Cleaning the toilet blocks

→ Sort out the scrap metal pile

→ Re-stacking items onto pallets, making moving assets a little easier

→ FUN GAMES! A fire extinguisher hunt, plus musical tables (i.e. arrange our metal tables in a usable fashion for visitors)

If you possess a skillset, trade, or ability to do anything that would, could or should benefit the club, please let us know - we will be more than happy to put you to use!

Also, you can mark down Sunday, August 6th, for our next working bee.

If you would like more information, please call Anthony Kealy on 0414 733 621.
