The annual Portsea Camp working bee is on the weekend of 10 and 11 October 2015 - Please let Wayne W know ASAP if you want to attend.
"The dormitory wing to the left of the drive is desperately in need of a coat or three of paint. The shower block within the wing has recently been refurbished and the interior of the dorms has been spruced up. With a bit of effort the whole area will lift.
Gardening and landscaping is a task that we struggle with, given other maintenance necessities. It’s a big site but the working bee effort allows us to keep on top of things for the rest of the year.
Gutters; I suppose we have a few kilometers of them. It would be fabulous if a team or two put some effort into cleaning them out and fitting gutter guard where needed.
Connelly Hall is showing its age. It’s solidly used by adult leaders but its walls are bowing and are badly damaged. This is one for the skilled builder rather than the handy person so if its up your alley please let me know and we’ll order in lining boards etc.
I can’t wait to catch up again. The improvements to the camp over the past year are pretty obvious – asphalt, shower and toilet partitions, sound systems, abseiling wall, painting, re-roofing, epoxy floors – lots.
If you are interested in attending this function on 5th December, please let Peter Schoner know as soon as possible.

CHRISTMAS FELLOWSHIP 5TH DECEMBER
HERRING ISLAND
Hi Everyone,
With Christmas “around the corner” and the Fleet deciding to get together to celebrate “The Festive Season” on December 5 I have found our voyage to Herring Island has not been as easy as I first thought and have discovered that:
The Punt from Como to the Island starts approx. mid December and as yet Parks Victoria is unable to tell me exactly when this service will commence; as yet there is no timetable;
Captain Hamish of MV Grower (Steamboat) advises he can take us to Herring Island and pick us up at a later prearranged time. The journey will take approx. ½ hour each way and we are looking at a say a 2 hour (or longer) minimum stay. Cost is $475, so if we had 16 people this would equate to be $30 per person. Of course if we had more people cost would be less, maybe you know somebody you can invite or someone from your Club that might be interested.
My thoughts are we book MV Grower as soon as possible, so could you please indicate your agreement and commitment by 6pm, Sunday 13th September to barbara@wcinnovations.com.au
One other scenic ferry circumnavigates the Island but doesn’t stop.
Details will follow later regarding food, payment etc.
Please save the motel soaps or similar size for the 'Days for Girls' program which is a program for sending sanitation products in a wash bag for teenage girls overseas. Give them to Judith. Sandra and the RC Monash think our club is wonderful for saving all the soaps!!
Save used stamps with a good deal of the envelope! They pay by weight!
Foreign coins are being collected in a container at the desk. Ron Brooks RC Forest Hill has collected many kgs!
