In the late eighties, as an alternative to demolishing the
hydro plant operator’s house and cabin, the Company opted to let the P30 Club,
now known as the
Newfoundland Power Trailblazers Association, operate them and maintain them for the benefit of all employees and
retirees. Since then a lot of work has been done to the facilities to maintain
them in reasonable good condition, including the addition of a second floor to
create an extra two bedrooms and new furniture throughout. Every year members of the Trailblazers
sacrifice countless hours to make the facility just a little bit better.
Any employees or ex employees of the Company who wish to
spend a few vacation days in the tranquility of country-style living at minimal
cost are asked to contact Nick Aylward. The facilities are booked on a first
come first served basis.
Before leaving, users are asked to restore the facilities
to a clean and neat condition and to report problems to Leroy Hynes or Cyril
Langdon or Gordon Goulding or Frank Freeman in Norris Arm.
