I can't help this week as to busy, can't we get the garage to collect it?, they may feel bad and not charge us, anyway the club has the funds, its about time we used some of them, the winch does not seem any better than it was before the service.

I think at the next agm we need to discuss the possibility of getting a brand new winch, and flog the collection of winches that we have at the moment, we only need two bits of eqt to fly, the winch and quad, having all that money in the bank does us no good at all.

there, thats of my chest

Couple of quick comments:

Flog to whom exactly?  This was problem last time it was muted.  Suppose you may get £50 on Ebay for someone to muck about and kill themselves with.  Only reason I can see for selling would be to clear space in hangar.

Last time checked new winch was £10k+, more than we have in the bank.  Besides which, this is a new winch!  Let's find and fix problem; plenty of VW Golfs still on road (and reliable if you believe the adverts).

You probably could do for the old air cooled beetle engine versions!

I have just the thing (45Gl drum-top sliced off) I will pilfer and bring it up next time and When it's full we can set it alight and pretend we are on strike
