Equipment, Materials, Rubbish, strewn &/or stored beneath the clubhouse. This needs to be sorted through & separated into: – Stuff that has value… – Do we keep it? Where & How? Do we sell the rest? To Whom? – Store the stuff to be kept in a safe & rational manner – Worthless, worn-out stuff. | Commodore or Works and ways / training. Remove to by the skip ‘til there is time/resources to load it in efficiently. | Getting full use [full value] from the Skip: This is costing the club almost £400, so it needs to be filled carefully to fill it thoroughly. – Pack it carefully so gaps & voids are minimised. – Nothing must project above the metal sides of the skip; otherwise, the supplier will not take the skip away. |
