Paul J Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Heard on the news about a fire at Mitchells Does anyone know anything? Quote
Maverick Martin Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 The fire looked to be in the area of the Chandlery, Yellow penguin marine and Select Marine. I passed there today at around 3.40pm thick black smoke bellowing out of that area Hope there isnt to much damage as maverick is supposed to be going into Select Marine for a service in two weeks Quote
Nipper Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 paul i drove past mitchells earlier and stopped and asked a police lady whats was happening she said the chandley and the boat brokers was on fire . mark b Quote

munterhunter Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 popped down there this morning and was told no launching till weekend, so there goes this afternoons trip up in smoke so to speak. Quote
great white Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Hi all I popped in this afternoon its a mess I feel very sorry for Pete and the rest of the businesses down there. Not only are they a good bunch but they have always supported our winter competition as sponsors. The access to the yard seems to have re-opened and I think that it will be back to work tomorrow. Diving shop and select marine seemed to be working today Charlie Quote
Nipper Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 charlie do you know how the fire started . mark b Quote
Bob F Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Charlie, Is there any way we can help them, seeing that they help out with our events? I'd volunteer to muck in if it was of any help. Bob F. Quote
great white Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Saw Pete this afternoon they are not sure how it started, but it was not an accidental operation of a flare as some rumours are saying. It is all being cleared up by the staff of the various businesses so I am not sure if we could help. We at the Club have offered where we can but at the moment have not been asked. We have a small Force 4 Chandelery set up at the Club this weekend and Pete is helping on the Stalls. So if anyone wants a few things urgently then they may be able to help. If anyone had run up a tab with Pete or the other businesses now would be a good time to be forthcoming with the money. I am sure they would appreciate a bit of income and your honesty as there records are not all intact. I think it would be good if the Club wrote to them offering our support if they need it now and when they re-open. Martin if you do the letters I will deliver them. Charlie Quote
Maverick Martin Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Charlie I only know Petes name and will write to him. Could you forward me details of the other business holders names Martin Quote
