(c) the washroo...

Line Chief Preliminary Results

We had formal line-chiefs for 7 of the last 8 weekend days (i.e. four AM shifts and three PM shifts Sat/Sun for 2 weekends). Generally they worked very well, in conjunction with the waiting list sheet and the intro waiver sheet (replacing yellow cards). It seems very prudent to continue this policy ...

Re: YSA Campground Notes

Good news. The documents filed by the professional civil engineer the club hired, accepted by the County engineers, allows us to calculate clubhouse and campground occupancy based on 9,900 litres rather than the assumed 7,000 rating of our septic system. Consequently, the calculation for number of ...
