Default Work Parties - 12 & 19 January 2008

Hi All

As part of our work to improve the quality and facilities at EPR, we will be replacing the old rostrum roof with a new one. Our plans are to take down the existing wooden one on the Saturday after the third round of the Winter Warmer series (12 Jan) and put up the new corrugated sheeted roof the following Saturday. We are going to speak to Steve Andrews who has offered his scaffold tower to make access easier and safer!

The work party on the 5 January will focus around finishing the scrutineering hut and doing the normal prep work before a meeting.

Of course it would be really great to have your support over the rostrum roof weekends as once the old one is off, there wont be any turning back!

Thanks

Eden Park Raceway

Thanks DC

Just a couple of tall ones to make fitting the roof easier.

I think we will have a sort out of storage units and throw a few up on the wall in race control...

Niggs - you coming up?

Dave - you've been a 'mad member' from day 1!!!

Anyway, you going to have any primer on the van this Saturday?
We also have a need to finish off scrutineering, fixing sliding shutters, door panels and painting.

We also need a volunteer (!) with a roof rack or a van to collect the roof sheets from Ian B's just up the road in West Wickham.

The weather forecast may affect what we do on Saturday and get our head around what we've ordered and how we are going to use it!

I will pick up some primer today, and we can use my van if needed to pick up the sheets, let's hope for good weather, it would be nice to get the roof on

With the weather we are having at the moment, getting the roof on would be great!!!

Next major job that I would like to do is board the rostrum front, back and sides.

Some of the other jobs are out of our hands as it were like running mains power to race control, fixing the fence, seeding the grass areas....

DC - coffee is ordered. What time will you be there? May be easier to stop at my dads and collect the roof on the way, that's all!

See you all tomorrow.

Ok I have the primer and the base cabints and counter, I have an estimate at 8:30am, and will be heading straight there, so should be about 9:45 or so. Do we have anything to tie these to the roof racks????
My van is mega full, as I picked the paint up today for next week, off to Newport, south wales, and have 25 gal of paint on there and the cabinets, but will have ladders as well, so dont think i will be able to find the rope, lol.......

I think we will be able to find something - my dad is bound to have ropes, straps, etc

Are we still meeting in the cafe?
I need to get some stuff from the shops anyway for refreshments, etc
