DVO has acquired a smart new gazebo for use at club and public events. It measures 2.5m x 2.5m and is totally waterproof. It is very robust. It has four walls, two with windows, one with a door. It has guys and pegs to make it secure in bad weather. The frame comes in a canvas bag with carry handles and wheels and full instructions. The roof, sides, guys and pegs are in a blue plastic box. Both are stored in the shed near the club banners, on the shelf on the left. Here it is in action on Saturday at the very wet Whitworth Party in the Park, with three of the four sides attached.
