Booking system introduced on the stone yard
On August 29, the stone crafts training from Grebbestad Folk High School will start on our stone yard. The training will rent the six working booths in the horseshoe. In the current situation 5 people are enrolled full-time and one person at halftime but it could be more. It is therefore important that the members who have stones in the working booths in the horseshoe move them by 28 August. In cases where the stone is left there after this date, we will move them.
In connection with the training start, we will introduce a booking system for all working booths at the stone yard. The rules that will apply to bookings of stone yard are not completely clear yet and the system will not be introduced until it is finished. It will certainly be a break-in period for the system and we ask you to work on the stone yard to overlook if there is any problem. Please communicate with each other and with the board and staff to avoid conflicts around the yard.
