This weekend has been all about club work… and twinset training! 💪🤿
Our members have been putting in a huge amount of effort over the past few weekends (and plenty of weekdays too!) preparing for some major compressor upgrades. After this weekend’s work, things will look remarkably different when you come down to the club on Thursday. Just take a little extra care when parking in the car park while everything settles into its new home.
A massive thank you to Paul Pritchard Pritchards of London for bringing the expertise and equipment needed to move the compressor, and to Rob, Nick, Ian, Paul and Nathan for all the hard work getting everything into position. We thought the cylinders were heavy (and they are!), but the compressor was on another level. Thankfully, we had a 4x4 to help drag it around the corner once we’d rolled it out on scaffolding poles—an ancient Egyptian technique that worked surprisingly well! 😄
Saturday saw the clubhouse being used for our Twinset Training course, before everyone headed to Vobster on Sunday to put all that theory and shutdown practice to good use.
A very successful weekend all round! We just need to complete the electrics and pipework for the new compressor before we can remove the old one.
We’re all set for air fills this week, so members, come on down and make the most of your free air fills. Nitrox is available by appointment as usual via the online booking form. 😉
