Monthly Working Bees

Our monthly working bees are an important opportunity for all members to give back to the club and maintain the equipment and grounds that we share with each other.

As part of our membership requirements, each prospective member must attend a working bee and each full member must attend at least one working bee each year. A membership fee discount is offered to each member who attends three or more working bees during the year. 

With the diverse range of regular tasks that need attention, as identified below, members should never feel that they need to undertake tasks they believe are beyond their physical abilities or the knoweldge they have in respect to the use of tools or mechanical equipment.

Members should never undertake a task alone, all members should work in pairs or as part of a group.

Any members with special abilities, such as a trade background, are encouraged to bring this to the clubs attention.

Please Note:

As with all club events, each member in attendance at a working bee is required to sign on using the QR code at the clubhouse upon arrival.
