Outfitting Party week 4 day 1&2

06/02/2008

Monday was rather busy, We took a delivery of 45 boats in two vans first thing. Then we took 4 van loads from the old shop – there’s not much left now!!Sweet

The new shop is now jammed with kit!! Most of the buoyancy aids, helmets and cags are out on the slat wall. Late on we received a delivery of boat racking. All six of us were a bit tired so it was a quite yet hungry group that once again took advantage of the two meals for £10 offer qat the nearby pub….

Tuesday the phones transfered over, and another two loads including boat racking turned up. Half the shop was tidyed.

Now on Wednesday we are up and running, with a few more boats to move to and from the Arches store. Hopefully sending the Stockport crew (Mike, Kev and Ricky) home on time!!) So by Thursday we should be well and truly settled in.

Moved!!

06/02/2008

We have to all intents moved shops. there is now nothing left at Wigton Road, bar a few cardboard boxes. You are welcome to come and browse as from today.  More updates later when we have more time!

Still a bit of moving/tidying to do!! Phone lines have transfered over as well
