Fall Work Party - Rowing Fleet (17 Oct 2026)

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT

As part of wrapping-up the 2026 Rowing Season, we're proud to announce the 37th Annual Fall "Work" Party! Yes, you read that right: 37th! Time flies like an arrow, don't it? And fruit flies like a banana, fer sure. (<= Just love that one!)

We've perfected our operation ever-so much over the years, it's a wonder to see! Indeed, we've come a long ways, much like the vastly improved Formula 1 pitstops (my apologies for any YouTube ads). Look at the fella banging away at the front left tire ... well, in them Good Ole Days, that's how we'd change out a rigger arm. Nowadays, we have much more ... ahem ... "refined" techniques.

So, come out to see, learn, and practice these new-fangled techniques: you won't regret it! Also, this is one of the best ways of filling your Club Locarno Karma Jar. These boats work hard to keep us on the right side of the water, so let's give them some TLC to show our appreciation.

Here's what's up:

Cleaning boats: Echos (8), Literaces (3), Maas Aeros (2), the all(most)-new Swift C1, and, last but not least, the doughty Alden. Weather permitting, we'll also wax.
Cleaning locks, oars, tightening screws, and taking note of wear and required fixes.
Sharing tall tales of rowing progress and prowess learned and earned this season.
Finding out what worked, what didn't, and what might be fun to try next time you're out on the water.
Laughing uproariously at Management's efforts to look busy while barking orders and foisting one-liners on a captive audience.

Please bring a pair of gloves for washing, and dress appropriately for the weather: we proceed regardless of the conditions ... except lightning, of course.

So hit that Register button: with a total of 15 boats we need at least 15 volunteers, excluding "Managers", as they are in a "category of their own".

PS: Fleet Captains, please register as a Work party leader.

SUP & Kayak Fall Work Party (24 Oct 2026)

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 17:30:00 GMT

Fall work party to carry out repairs, maintenance and prepare the SUPs, kayaks and related gear for the winter. As a joint SUP & kayak event, if you are a member of both fleets, you’ll be fulfilling two volunteer duties at once! Some things we can do:

wash and clean all the SUPs and kayaks
- inspect craft to see if repairs needed
- make any simple repairs
Organize all SUP & kayak equipment in the kayak shed
- paddles
- leashes
- PFDs
- Hatch covers etc.

Great opportunity to get together with other club members and chat about the outings and trips you've had this year.

Please register if you'd like to come and help keep the fleets in good repair.

Weather permitting - if it's miserable we will postpone - check the Kayaking and SUP Slack Chat channel for last minute updates.

P.S. We have a food budget: If someone would like to help organize a social and food after the work party, let me Mark or Gay know.
