PNYC WORKS

The road, including the potholes (inverted speed bumps), alongside The Old Kiln frontage and up to the entrance to the club has been tarmac’d. Looks a bit stark now but it will soon bed in, as has the new tarmac outside Mayne Cottage. Enjoy! Roger McDonald already has on his scooter.

We have replaced the door frame around the old shower room which is now a storage room for Melissa and Sarah. And we have ordered a new hardwood front door for the club as the old one was not properly fixed into the wall and hence has been pulling out the plaster either side of the frame. We are currently jet-washing everything and then painting will commence in early May.

In May we will be replacing the decking on the village end pontoons, repairing some of the pontoon fingers and replacing missing numbering. We will also put a new ladder on beach wall for beach moorings 1-5. We have reduced the number of beach moorings by a further two berths in order to increase the space for those on the beach – so hopefully this will make things easier.

    If you see Mike Maguire floating around in the water, just leave him. He’s swimming. For the first time in many years.  It was lovely to see Brian Roper and family heading out onto The Helford a little while ago – well done Brian.  

  • MULLET LANDED

    Mike and John, staying in The Lower Deck, have honed their skills as mullet fishermen and have landed lots before putting them back in the water.  The heaviest was 4lbs.  The trick, apparently, is to have some bread bags hanging off the pontoon and then once they arrive, to use a small pellet of bread on…
