Commodores Report .
We ’ ve all heard the expression “ time flys ”. Well its certainly has for me . The last year as Commodore has flown by . Christmas party , Valentine ’ s event , cream tea , Commodores Cruise , Rally then bonfire night and the years gone .
This year ’ s Commodores cruise is again to the steps at Trent Bridge . It will be on Spring Bank Holiday 27,28 and 29 th May . BBQ on Saturday night on the grass , bring your own beer ( weather dependent ). Sunday meal in the TBI . On Monday , back to club but for those who have more time , down the Trent to Newark then possibly on to Lincoln and back for the following weekend . If you haven ’ t done the Trent before , it ’ s an ideal opportunity to see a new cruising ground but also be in company . 16 boats turned up last year ( not all from our club as we invited other clubs to attend ). Narrow boaters are very welcome .
The new Club house is moving forward . We have found the building that fits the bill and with help from Council Members and non- Council Members , planning is being sort . I will bring more information to the AGM ( Friday 31st . March at Trent Lock Golf Club . 7.30pm .) for a more updated report . Photo of proposed building is on the new notice board by main gate .
Our moles have been sorted out by our mole catcher and his apprentice Roger . I understand 4 moles had caused all the damage .
Slipping shed pulleys have been replaced as the current ones where breaking up . They should last for a few years as they are one of the most used items on the club .
I ’ m sure all members have noticed the main gate swings open better . The reason being , top hinge has been replaced .
