2026 DBSC Buzzy Working Bee Done
Steven London
Thank you to the tremendous efforts of 43 members who came down early last Saturday from 8 am to lend a hand and get DBSC ship-shape for the Summer Season. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine, with Peter Collie on the BBQ providing bacon & egg sandwiches, and with Paul and Shirley in the canteen making toasties to feed the workers.
Stations were setup and the Busy Bees put into action:
James Tudball and the youth team reviving our dollies with new foam and plastic protection;
Geoff Kirk and co. replacing rotten boards out on the deck;
a team replacing carpet and steel bars in our storage racks that had rusted;
Tim Heath and Martin White led a team cleaning and fixing the club’s LTR boats;
club sails were sorted and repacked;
a full clean and sweep-out of the bottom racks, and
a clean-out of the workshop led by Jim Dounis and Stephen Reid.
Meanwhile, Luke Parker and another team were over on the Jazzman giving it much needed cabin cleanup, flag stock-take and TLC wash-and-polish. The Jazzman has also had its annual service and antifoul — thank you Pat Levy and John Vasey for organising that.
Mastermind of the day: Vice Commodore Rod Barnes made repairs to the weatherboards, and many other parts of the club house, and we managed to completely fill his trailer with rubbish.
Well Done ALL!
