The Boat Shed saves the Day
Commodore Ed Pepping has sent some pictures of the damage caused by a tree falling onto the boat shed today." WIthout the shed we would have lost VP1, the Tractor and possibly VP2. Just goes to show how strong the design and construction is and makes  the construction of the roof all worthwile" he said  "Redlands City Council will arrange removal of the tree. We will need to arrange for someone to do an evaluation of the damage and costs."
