Snobounds Jan 2010
Jan 12th, 2010 by Peter Newton
I can’t believe I’m writing this issue of Snobounds in 38 degree heat in the middle of Canberra summer – I should have done it on Boxing Day when it was raining. Anyway, happy New Year to everyone. It will soon be time to dust off the skis and start thinking about snow – unless you’re watching the news and looking at the winter conditions in Europe.
Final chance to remove skis As previously advised and warned, one of the work party jobs this summer will be to remove and dispose of skis stored in the old drinker’s club area in the storeroom.
Final chance to remove skis
As previously advised and warned, one of the work party jobs this summer will be to remove and dispose of skis stored in the old drinker’s club area in the storeroom. These skis were removed from the entry and change room areas last year when the old ski racks repleaced and members were advised at that time that the next step would be to dispose of these antiquated, forgotten and dangerous skis. That time has arrived!
If, reading this, you suddenly realize that a family heirloom is about to be disposed of – get down to the lodge before the first work party and do something about it!

Deck Replacement Program
Plans to replace the deck at the front of the Lodge are advancing. We are in the process of seeking approval from the NPWS for plans and we have a builder able to do the work.
At the time of the AGM, members were advised that the cost to replace the deck and install a north facing window in the mezzanine could result in a levy exceeding $1000 per membership.
I am happy to tell you that the club will be contributing $10,000 from reserves and the expected cost will be less than $1000 per membership. The exact figure is somewhat uncertain until the approval process is complete and we have a final quote from the builder.
Missing Member
We’ve lost a member and need your help! If anyone knows how to get in touch with David and Sandy Smith, formerly of “Euroka Park”, Murrumbateman Road, Murrumbateman, please let the board know. They seem to have moved and forgotten to let us know the new address.
