Would you like to help with Nancy's winter re-fit? We are arranging two working weekends at Southwold on the 24/25 January 1998 and Jan31/Feb1 - you don't need to be an expert - loads of sanding/painting/varnishing to be done as well as other tasks. Nancy will be inside a big boat shed so you'll stay warm and dry - with expert supervision/tools/equipment on hand. Just bring some old clothes, plenty of elbow grease and loads of enthusiasm.
You'll have to pay for your own meals (Saturday night Fish & Chip supper at the Harbour Inn!!) plus B&B which we will arrange and will be off-season prices. The Ancient Mariner will be there from each Friday evening though the working party should commence during Saturday morning and finish on Sunday lunchtime - all are welcome - not just the Friends of Nancy Blackett.
If you'd like to come contact Terry Absalom 01296 630894 or Peter Willis 01252 328187 and let us know. Look forward to seeing you - armed with a paintbrush of course!!
