New Memorial bench for club
I
vans wife Betty and daughter Carol came to see the new Ivan Palfrey memorial bench, that has been installed at the beach and were extremely pleased with the end result. Thanks go to John and Graham for their work.
New storage facility for Club Boat!
Club members have successfully installed the new boat ramp on the beach which will mean the boat can now be stored out of the water, but can be quickly launched when required.
A big thanks to all involved in this project.
