Saturday 7 September Sea kayak maintenance afternoon

The club sea kayaks have had hard use this summer and so we will be having one of our regular boat maintenance sessions on Saturday at 3pm. It will lead into the club barbecue c 5pm, see below.

The boats need a good wash, and also the footpegs, backrests, skegs, toggles etc need to be checked and repaired as needed. We will tidy up the boat shed as well. If there are enough people we can check buoyancy aids, helmets etc.
The clubroom will be available so we can use that for checking the equipment including putting the boats on trestles if the weather is unfriendly. The clubroom includes access to teas and coffee etc.
No equipment required, although if anyone is willing to do some weeding around the club then a few tools may be useful. If you are willing to get involved with the boat washing then full waterproofs are recommended.
Nigel has said that he will come along, so lessons in how to repair skegs will be available. Always a good skill to learn.

It would be great to have a good turnout.
