Club Dinner Saturday February 23rd
A select few (only eight of us - where were you all?) met at Chez Colette in Mold for the club's annual dinner. Good food, good wine, good company.
What more can I say? Sorry you missed it?
Shelves - Crafted by Brian McNutt
As a former aficionado concerning all matters pertaining to pontoons and jetties, I naturally thought that once again my advice was being sought on weighty technical matters when a call came from the Brenig committee. Striding down the Long Gallery towards the telephone room I gave a knowing glance to the portrait of one ancestor after another: Sydney McNutt, tea lad on a now famous antipodean engineering venture; Oscillating McNutt, sacked as high frequency consultant on the Golden Gate project; Tavish McNutt, originator of the Scottish concave packhorse bridge; and, most recently young wobbly of London.
It was Lynda Lake, "Now that you are in charge of shelves!……." I could hear the derisory laughter from every ancestral ghost in the place. It had come to this -from man of pontoons to chief shelf scrubber.
God knows why my talent is being wasted in this way but if you still want a shelf you have to pay me. Hold on; hold on - I then give the money back to the club.
I have a list of last year's occupants and will keep their shelves available until the second Sunday (Working Party and first sailing Sunday) of the season. If you want a shelf please pay up by then or the shelf will be declared vacant. It will be recommended to the committee on 11th. March that we do away with the single shelf and have 30 double units at £10 per unit. If you paid for five years your slot has been reserved. I will be available for shelf consultations throughout the year but for those wishing to secure their heritage why not stop me and rent a shelf at Lynda and Roger's 'little do', otherwise see me at the club. If you want to declare an interest, you can email me.
Jeeves has just called, breakfast is being served in the study and mother wants an explanation about this rumour that the family is mixing with the other classes and moving into the shelf business. Will I ever have my portrait in the Long Gallery?
Vista shelving - give a fine view over the Club House.
Court Yard shelving - for those who enjoy the familiarity of close neighbours.
Back Jigger shelving - these shelves appear at the back of our catalogue and
will
appeal to those who enjoy the challenge of inner city life.
