On the weekend of November 21-22, the Board met at the Jindabyne lodge to take on a working bee weekend to prepare the lodge for reopening on December 1. We limited this working bee to only the board, and a couple of tradesmen, to maintain the maximum number of people in the lodge, as dictated by the covid-19 restrictions. Below are some pictures of the work done, which included:
- Dismantling and removal of the 15 old bunk beds throughout the lodge
- Assembly of the 15 new bunk beds throughout the lodge
- Construction of a bulkhead in the kitchen and installation of 2 new range hoods to the bulkhead
- Installation of hand sanitiser stations at strategic points throughout the lodge
- Installation of Covid-19 signage throughout the lodge
- Removal and vacuum-packed storage of all bedding from the lodge (pillow,pillowcases, mattress protectors, blankets, tea towels, etc.)
- Removal of the table tennis facilities from the downstairs room
- Removal and storage of all games, etc. throughout the lodge
- Sealing off of ‘out of bounds’ areas of the lodge (basically everything downstairs except the entrance and pathway to the stairs.
