July Chainsawing Weekend
12 Jul 09
The July "Chainsawing Weekend" was a great success in spite of a wet and cold start!
On Saturday, the 11th of July we had an attendance of 27, that includes 5 members of the Lions Club, who came to cook lunch.
The results for Saturday were as follows
- 47.5 Tonnes of firewood was cut,
- 17.5 Tonnes was split and distributed
A great effort considering the awful weather conditions. The day was cut short due to rain.
On the Sunday the 12th of July, there were 20 attendees, with 5 5 of attendees from Lions Club who came to prepare the lunch.
The results for Sunday were as follows:
- They cut 47.5 Tonnes was cut (Same as on Saturday) and
- 27.5 Tonnes was split and distributed
That makes
- a total of 95 Tonnes of wood cut, and
- 45 Tonnes of wood split and distributed, a magnificent result!
The cut and split wood was distributed out to 19 properties across the mountain to fulfill the most urgent needs and to the very grateful recipients.
The next "Chainsaw Weekend" will be on the Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August, 2009.
