Spring Clean & Working Bee

On the 28th October we had a Spring Clean & Working Bee at P&DARCS. We had a great turnout and a lot of items were ticked off the to do list, so a huge thank you to those who turned up to help.

Some of the big jobs we ticked off were:

Spring cleaning the clubhouse & toilets
Sweeping out of sheds
Pressure washing down paths around club
Raising sprinkler heads on runways
filling in holes on east runway extension area
Filling in potholes in driveway
Begin construction of fuel storage shed
Filling in old spoon strains alongside driveway to improve mowing conditions
lots of whipper snipper work
+ lots of other smaller jobs

As you can see, we achieved a great deal, so thanks everyone for your help. It's only with a lot of effort that we keep P&DARCS looking as good as it does.
