Hello again, I hope this issue of InSync finds you all in good health and happiness. I imagine from the members who I have spoken with that most of us are flat out working on all those jobs at home we have been unable to get to or maybe just trying to avoid. I suppose it’s one of the unintended outcomes of the situation we are in. Our General Manager Brett asked me to find some jobs for some of our staff to do at Dux, so I spent three enjoyable and productive days with a group of our young men extending the irrigation system, cleaning, painting and rebuilding the steering of the ride on mower and other maintenance that needed attention.
While we were there, Bob and Joan Kershaw arrived on there boat, and Bob just rolled up his sleeves and spent many hours working with us, Thanks again, Bob. I want to say thanks to our caretakers Brian and Donna for the great job they are doing, and the place looks a picture. Our Clubs boating activities are still curtailed, but we are ready to start up again as soon as restrictions are lifted. Both Hollywell and Main Beach clubhouses are looking good as the shut down has given us the opportunity to clean and paint both facilities. At the risk of repeating myself, I would like to say how excellent our staff have been throughout these trying times. Well done, everyone!
I do hope that I haven’t bored you with this article, but I find it easier to do a hard days work at Dux than to write a column when we have so little going on at the Club during this lockdown situation. I am looking forward to seeing you on the water sooner rather than later.
