Info and apeal regading the parking lot and junk cars
During the winter we will reserve the new part of the parking lot close to the shop for winter active cars. Walter will clear that part from snow during the winter. We don not want to see an long time parked cars in that part. If you do not use the car during winter, we urge you to park it at your place. If that is not possible, please park in the old, south part.
A joint action to take junk cars to the mainland will be organised in January. Not later than 15 January you should transport your junk car to Norrfjärden and the registration form should be filled in and be in the car. Egil Sandström will contact a junk car firm to coordinate tha transport. Notify Egil if you will leave your car. Walter Holmberg can assist if your car does not work. Be out in good time so the weather or ice makes problems.

ALL
junk cars on the parking lot MUST immediately be removed from the paring lot.
