Help Install a New Course in Vermont!
HELP INSTALL A NEW DISC GOLF COURSE AT VERGENNES UNION HIGH SCHOOL
VUHS has received approval and funding to install a basic disc golf course on the school grounds. The course is geared toward casual use for both elementary and high school students with a focus on the beginner disc golfer. A couple of folks from the local disc golf community have helped them plan this out and now is the time to install the baskets. They are putting in Discatchers with locking sleeves so the primary objective will be to get the holes dug (with a powered post hole digger) and the sleeves set in cement in each of the holes. If there is extra help we will also help assemble the baskets for installation. This is a great opportunity to help share disc golf with the next generation.
WHEN: This Sunday, Aug 29. We plan to start at 8:30am. If you can be on-time that would be great. However we expect to be working into the afternoon so if you can join us at a later time – that would be great as well.
WHERE: Vergennes Union High School (50 Monkton Road Vergennes, VT 05491). When you enter the school driveway – stay to your right and drive into the parking lot to the right (west) of the high school. We will be gathering on the near edge of the playing fields just beyond this parking lot.
WHAT TO BRING:
1. Work Gloves,
2. carpenter’s level if you have one
3. a post-hole shovel if you have one – or other sturdy long handled item that will help us mix the cement. We are going to mix the cement right in the post holes which are only 8″ diameter (and will have a post in the middle)so a standard spade (shovel) will not work, we need something with a smaller head).
4. Water (for yourself)
5. Snacks (for yourself – or to share)
6. An adjustable wrench or 2 – in case we get around to assembling the baskets
RSVP:
