Cricketman Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 hey everybody, well, everyone has been asking when the working bee is going to be happening, and im pleased to announce that Marks given me carte blanche to get it rolling, so... the Weekend of 4th/5th of october seems to be the best date I can think of, so, if you want to come on down and lend a hand, theres alot of stuff that we can sort through and get the park looking really neat again just in time for the 11th october which i believe is Marks Open day. if you want to, leave a message of support here or just pitch up on teh day, itll be great to meet some faces to put to names. thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I would have been keen but I'll unfortunately be in Miami that weekend... I like the BOP area and it would have been good to catch up with some of the local BOP FNZAS members at the same time. Has anyone from the local club got the members on-board for the working bee? Maybe also a list of who is interested so jobs can be assigned in advance. Good planning will likely make the effectiveness of who does go much better.

David R Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Just found out that its the only weekend between now and the end of November Hannah and I can get up north to see our families and some close friends who [should] have had their first kid. Hannah's sitting her PCE2 accounting exam (6 hours and $5k) so needs to be studying non-stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
