Work To Date

Well to start the summer me and Bjorn re-harnessed the bridle holding the docks to the wharf:

Then the ramp came unhinged so we rebuilt the base to keep it on track:

then recently the rod holding the last dock was lost to the deep so I put some chains through the brackets to keep our dock attached:

but one of the pieces seems to have disappeared last night so perhaps has joined the pin in Davy Jones Locker.

Will take a dive Thursday to see if they are resting on the bottom.

Granthams Wharf Association

In order to start the fundraising necessary to purchase materials to build 2 new floats for next summer we are having a Blackfish Pub Fundraiser Party.  The tentative date is November 11th between 5:30 pm and 8:30 pm.  We are hoping to raise $2000 through a silent auction, and the sale of Beer and Burger tickets for $15, which we get 50% of and the Blackfish gets the rest.  

The current 4 floats on the Wharf are falling apart and the replacement costs are estimated to be upwards of $20,000 if we were to buy the floats ready made.  The GWA is dedicated to making the wharf a focal point of the community and we figure we can rally around this cause and as a community build our own floats for substantially cheaper.  

The Blackfish Pub Fundraiser Party goals are: .  1) to raise $ to rebuild the aging floats  2) to show the community our vision for the Wharf   3) to get support with materials and skills for our building efforts  4) use the wharf as a focus to build on the vibrant, awesome community we live in.

We would like to encourage you to 1) Come to the Fundraiser 2) Buy a bunch of Beer and Burger tickets  3) Support the Silent Auction  4) Check out our Vision for the Wharf  5) Have a great time and support us GWA volunteers as we rebuild the wharf which has anchored our community since 1909!
