Season
The yard calendar
| When | What | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | Ledger close & crane service | The yard reads the year’s numbers aloud on the first Monday |
| March | Refit rush begins | Fleet orders crowd the walk through April |
| May | Quay open day | Free tours all Saturday, the jack turns for children |
| July | Flax delivery | The new season’s fibre comes up the valley by dray |
| September | Apprentice letters read | Two letters get a walk with the foreman |
| November | Winter walks shorten | Tide walk moves to mornings until February |
| December | Last walk of the year | Whole crew walks the length together, then the tearoom |
