Gear Swap and Boat Repair

The WRRR Board is planning a get together on October 6, 2012 to repair boats and gear.  We hope to have some gear swapping going on too. We believe it would be very helpful to provide a space and the know how to help our members repair their gear.  So we have found a location and have invited Steve Dumanis to advise us.  If we are lucky, maybe our editor will join us as a mentor too. We are inviting you to bring your gear, and whatever supplies you will need….glue,  D-rings, patches and valves, and we will attempt to fix it on the spot.  We recommend you bring your repair kits Please be sure that you have new glue.   We are offering a prize for the BEST repair kit. We are hoping to put together a GLUE POSTER, which would show all the different glues and their best uses. We encourage you to bring along any gear you no longer use to sell or trade to other club members. This can be a great opportunity to clear out your storage space and pick up some needed items.  Even if it’s not in prime shape, it may be perfect for someone starting out.  Steve has been repairing boats for years and will be available to help you with your repair [if you are glue-challenged] for a minimal fee.

We will be meeting at the Auburn Airport where Randy Rogers has a hangar that will be available to us for shelter.  The address is 2527 “E” St. N.E., hangar # 503.  There is a locked gate so if you have a trailer, you can contact Randy on his cell phone and he can open the gate to let you drive in. 206-669-1877

We will start at 11:00 am so we will have plenty of time for the glue to dry.  WRRR will be providing pizza and you should provide you own beverages. Any questions, comments, ideas or needs, please call me at 425-413-0948 and leave a message on my home phone
