Many thanks to the volunteers who helped clear weed from our favourite pond today.
Big shout out to Tony, Pete, Kermit, Gerald and John (Tony’s brother).
After a couple of hours casting and pulling chains we managed to make a dent in the weed beds, the extent of which is yet to be fully known.
By dragging the heavy links along the bottom of the pond we managed to drag/rip or otherwise remove around 85% of the growth. What was left mostly appeared to be floating masses that we hope will find their way to shore, with a little wind assistance.
We’ll check it of course on Tuesday and make an assessment of what, if any further work needs doing. Thanks again guys we made a good team.
Cheers
Col

Yes, thanks to all those on the working bee, sorry I couldn’t assist but unfortunately I’m still a “walking wounded”. Hopefully will make it to sailing on Tuesday.

Well you may have had all those non dietary produces to eat @ the BBQ lunch but we got fish.
This was our collection of size fish @ lunch time ( biggest 450mm – smallest 325mm). Ended up with 18 total by knockoff time of 14:00.
