Neville Fenwick

We were extremely sad to learn of the recent death of Neville Fenwick, our Commodore from 1995-1998

Grid Iron, the Scottish Theatre company paid him this tribute:

Neville was a brilliant carpenter and set builder and worked on many Grid Iron shows.

He took even our most unusual requests in his stride, from being asked to sink fence posts along a half-mile stretch of pathway in Alloway to constructing a gigantic spider (a homage to Louise Bourgeois’ Maman) in Dundee’s Verdant Works. While those requests would often be met with a quizzical, ‘are you sure?’ look, he always delivered with his signature skill and panache.

A gentle, talented, interesting and interested man, he was one of a kind, and will be missed.

Lift out 2024

Late date change due to weather to Sunday 13th October

Same plan for Sunday lift-out as previously   –

The crane will arrive around 6:45am for setting up in the yard and the first lift will start promptly at 8am.  The running order can change on the day so don’t just turn up for the time slot allocated.

SAFETY –

  • Keep yourself and others around you safe at all times.
  • Life jackets to be worn by all skippers and crew.
  • Be aware of the ongoing crane activities and avoid those areas unless you are directly involved.
  • Under no circumstances walk under crane loads.
  • Hard hats are compulsory for all in the yard and whilst on board boats working with slings and unstepping masts. Heavy gloves are recommended for handling slings and mast.
  • If anyone calls you out on a safety concern – please mind any guidance they give you with a smile and a thank you.

SKIPPERS –

  • Ensure your boat is ready with fenders and long fore and aft lines at the STARBOARD side.
  • Once you’ve arrived at the west pier please listen to sling instructions and know the sling positions for your boat.

ALLOCATED FCYC ROLES –

  • George will be overseeing the lift-out schedule working with the crane banksman.
  • We will organise other members to manage the Dumbo crews, taglines and ensure skippers have crews.
