Maintenance projects and cost
The members present unanimously voted to pay from the Club’s checking account for the following:
Sand:
Load of sand near the shed
Load of sand in the roundpen
We will get the sand and bring it to the arena. For the roundpen: A work party will be required to disassemble the panels and rake the sand (a tractor cannot fit in it).
Estimated cost: $1,200-$1,300 for the two loads of sand.
