Painting is GO!!
The weather is looking good for this weekend and hopefully the rain washed off
all the bugs we ran over at training last night.
Juju Eyeballs has found an even lower cost (& much less hassle) solution than
anything specified below - a line marker and yellow paint from Alice Equipment
Hire - and he's going to pick it up this arvo for us. So, all we need now is a
really long tape measure (at least 30m with measurements in feet. I'll bring
some rags & bucket and the track design.
I've let the Youth Centre and the roller hockey guys know that we'll be there
from 10.30am. Not sure how much cleaning of the track we'll have to do so will
check it out Saturday morning when we get there.
Donna & Axle have said they'll come along to help but any extra hands will be
appreciated!
Cheers
Two bit
