Hi all,

Happy Return's weekly winter maintenance program kicks off on Saturday 18th January and there will be two weekly sessions as follows:

On Saturdays commencing at 10.30. This session will supervised by John van der Hoff, john@vanderhoff.org. Mobile: 07775 607574.

On Wednesdays commencing at 10.00. This session will be supervised by James Walker, james21501@outlook.com. Mobile: 07387 550719.

Any help you can give with the maintenance work will be greatly appreciated. You do not have to make any prior commitment, just turn up at your convenience on the day if you can spare a few hours.

You don't need any particular skills for this work, although we are always looking for members who have skills at DIY level in electrics(12v)/electronics, engineering (engine maintenance and the like), carpentry/joinery, etc.

There is a lot of work to be completed before Happy Return is ready to sail again, so please lend a hand. Please remember to wear overalls or old clothes, foot and head wear for this work.

It can get mucky! Safety gear such as dust masks, safety glasses and gloves will be provided.

These maintenance days are traditionally very relaxed and good fun with lots of banter.

I hope to see you on board.

Thanks,

John.
