Lodge Update – August 2012

A few years ago the Lyall Bay surf club building was burnt down because surf boards were cutting through wiring over a period of time.

In the club lodge, all the wiring to the ski room and alarm wiring goes through the loft. Skis were often stored in the loft. With the wiring exposed in the loft, the risk of fire due to skis with sharp edges cutting through the wiring was too high. Therefore, the ski racks in the loft have been removed and most of the wiring is now boxed in plastic trunking.

This summer we will build a lockable rack on the wall, where the never-used dart board is, so lodge users will be able to store and lock up their skis using a bike lock cable, instead of storing them in the loft.

Please do not use the loft to store skis. The loft should stay locked. Ski boots should be taken home, pulled apart and dried.
