top shape in no time. Please volunteer some of your valuable time for this
great cause.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – ELECTRICAL LEADS
As a result of the current electrical repair work on the Jetties, is has been
identified that a number of electrical extension leads used by boat owners do
not meet specifications, and some of them are downright dangerous.
As a matter of urgency, please ensure that your electrical extension leads are
“IP 56” or “IP 66”. This means that the extension lead MUST have waterproof
plugs. If they do not have waterproof plugs on them moisture may seep into
the connection; if moisture gets in, it could shut down the power supply to the
entire jetty.
Please feel free to contact the Bosun should you need any further information

SPECIAL THANKS
We had a big turnout last Sunday at the Working Bee with 32 Members coming
down to help out. The atmosphere was particularly jubilant and the
camaraderie was a fresh of breath air. Without our valued members the club
would not exist.
We would like to say a special thank you to all the members who volunteered
rd
their time on Sunday 3 May for the Busy Bee. Your help is greatly appreciated
