RECENT EVENTS
VOLUNTEER LUNCHEON / EXCURSION 8th August 2024
Thank you to the Ubuntu Foundation for funding our 21 volunteers who enjoyed a ride on the City Cat from the Northshore Hamilton to Howard Smith Wharf.
Some volunteers brought their partners who paid their own way, so a total of 27 enjoyed a pleasant meal at the Felons Brewing Company restaurant, which is situated under the iconic Story Bridge.
Thank you to Peter Tyrrell for organising the day which was enjoyed by all who attended.
WORKING BEE 1st July 2024
Our working bee in the shed was a great success. With the addition of the new tractor it was a great opportunity clean up, reconfigure and improve our shed facility. We moved some of the cupboards and the fridge; rebuilt and improved the workbench and tool boards; marked on the floor where to park the boats and of coarse gave it a spit and polish. Now with all the boats in the shed you can move all around the shed and it looks great.
Thanks to all those who came and gave their time.
OUR NEW TRACTOR NAMING DAY 4th June 2024
A lovely sunny winters day that was a great occasion in which to showcase our operations with 46 special guests. Peter Mulchay was the MC for day with words from Geoff Grace (Sailability Qld President), David Hamilton (QCYC Commodore), Stirling Hinchliffe (MP) and Peter Tyrrell (Sailability Shorncliffe President). It was Nancy Garden and Peter Carole who revealed the tractor number plates 4GARDENS, acknowledging the enormous contribution the Gardens have made over the last 17 years as volunteers with Sailability Shorncliffe. With the official start of the tractor the ceremony was concluded and all were able to enjoy lunch and a few rides on the Pontoon boat.
