| RACK ALLOCATION (07 Oct 07) |
| At 7am on 8th Oct, a number of surf skis will be re-allocated to different racks. There will also be a number of skis that will be placed on the club trailer outside the club. The skis on the trailer are being placed there due to member inactivity so as to make way for active club members. These skis will be locked onto the trailer ( contact Pete 050 6406 087 to have them unlocked). We will attempt to contact the people concerned so that the skis can be removed as soon as possible. Any skis placed in bays that are not allocated to them will be removed and placed on the trailer. Sorry if this sounds harsh but the rack allocation at the club is a mess and needs to be sorted out. This allocation will be final until Jan 08.
Keep Paddling
