Hi all, Pony club are doingf a bit of maintenance around their ground and have asked for help.
The plan for the next 2 weekend is to refurb of our canteen and if we can get some bodys there to assist it would greatly help to strengthen the relationship between the two clubs
1. Take everything out, eg cupboards, stove, kitchen sink, everthing!
2. Rip up the flooring
3. Paint and seal it
4. Rebuild
As simple as it sounds we will need some help. We hope to have helpers on the following days
Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th

Knapsack Reserve Build Day Saturday 8th December
Lovers Walk Car Park Barnett St Glenbrook.
If some of you want to get there at 8 am I can talk people through the work and the tasks we are to do.
We will have an induction with Council staff at 8:30am, tool talk, clean tools, saftey, register names and discuss the plan for the day.
After this assign teams to the tasks. I will list the tasks below, so if you feel you have a special leaning for one of them put up your hand.
JP will be running an ICMS system (that is a management system of the tasks).
I will be running around like a headless chicken... call me on my mobile for contact 01419164528.
Yellomundee Track Work - Sat 6th 8:30am
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
I am creating this calendar entry on behalf of the WSMTB club. I am not personally hosting this event.
We will be doing some track maintenance work out there this Saturday, 6 Oct from 8.30am to lunch (BBQ by WSMTB). All welcome! If everyone did a day per year - then our MTB tracks around Sydney would be even better. Improvements and repairs just don't happen by magic. Let me know if you can come and help.

Knapsack Reserve Build Day Saturday 29th September
Lovers Walk entrance on Barnet St
Working on the rest of the top part of the DH trail we started work on last month.
Meeting with Nathan Summers- Recreational Officers of the Blue Mountains City Council BMC - Blackheath Aerodrome Jumps
Blackheath RSL
Make a difference and get involved.
After the Blue Mountains Gazette article last week, about the kids that ride the track we were encouraged to be contacted by Nathan Summers- Recreational Officers of the Blue Mountains City Council BMCC. They have been instructed to arrange public meetings regarding the jump track and dog walking area, and their alternative location. He tells me that it is his job to have meetings to gather information, form a steering committee who will then submit recommendations to council- I guess you have seen it all before at Knapsack.
