Work to yard and Squib pontoons

sumpThe welcome arrival of Spring weather has allowed volunteer teams of club members to complete work to the Squib pontoons and to the hard standing area adjacent to the new crane.    Preparation work has been going on all week to the area around the crane in Hooker's Dock and with a delivery of concrete on Friday the job will be completed by the end of the week.  This work finalises the installation of the new crane and makes a good working area for lifting and storing boats.
