PERISHER XC TRAILS WORK PARTY – MAY 6-7
This is the most important Work Party of the summer – time to install the winter drainage pipes that help to control running water on the trails under the snow. It isn’t heavy work but needs lots of hands.
If you are planning to attend the May Work Party, bring your gumboots, clothing for any weather, hat, work gloves, etc. Also, bring snacks, drinks and lunch.
If you would like to stay overnight, accommodation will be provided at Canberra Alpine Club Lodge (thank you CAC!). Bring bed linen, towels, food and drink for an evening meal to share on Saturday night. Or just join us for a social evening.
If you can attend on either or both days, and if you require accommodation, please contact Peter Ward (nswxc1@gmail.com).
