Working Bee Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th October Yes we have organised another of our world famous social and fun time working bee weekends where you can join in doing your favourite tasks to help with improvements to the WOS facilities. The main theme will be painting with a variety of associated tasks available to suit your own talents. There will be brush painting, roller painting and preparation work so come prepared and bring your brushes, rollers & trays, pots for holding paint, drop sheets, rags & cleaners, ladder and any other equipment you have, we will supply roller sleeves as needed and plenty of paint for you to play with and lots of other stuff. Be prepared for work interludes, interruptions etc interspersed with banter, joking, whistling, singing, banjo playing or whatever and breaks for coffee spa time or relax time. The BBQ will be on the go for sausage sizzle for lunch. No camping fees apply for participating overnight stayers and $5 hamburgers will be available in the evening. Safe working practise applies so bring any safety gear you need. If you don t wish to be part of the painting party or unable to attend the working bee then Gail has a wish list of other tasks on hand if you let her know what project you would like to undertake to contribute to the cause in your own time.
