🔨GROUNDS WORK🪜 Some of our long-standing members have started a Wrinklies Tuesday Club! Two projects are currently underway: 1. At the grounds entrance, the old fencing has been removed, the bank cleared and ground re-seeded with grass. 2. At the green container - new support bracing has been fitted and the area underneath cleared. The initial purpose here was to support the fencing but in due course this area could be roofed and use for storage. A huge thanks to the “Wrinklies” for this much needed effort! If any other members would like to get involved, please contact John Clementson or Brian Andrews.  NSC WhatsApp group launched! Thanks to everybody who has signed up to be added to the official WhatsApp group. The first post from the Commodore is now live. Any members who still want to sign up can contract Brian Conway on honsec.newtownardssc@gmail.com or Lana Ritchie on honmembershipsec.newtownardssc@gmail.com.
