News for Members:
This Week:
Unfortunately, because of weed in the lake, we still cannot sail for the time being.
Congratulations to David Lindsay for his excellent results in both the IOM Nationals - coming 9th out of 62 - and the DF95 Nationals - coming 11th out of 49!
Club Maintenance - We have used the first part of this period with no sailing to carry out important maintenance work on the clubhouse, including repainting the outside, which now looks very smart, clearing the drains, sorting the workshop, re varnishing the entry lobby and a multitude of other smaller jobs. Outside, vegetation has been cleared from the area outside the back door, and weed resisting fabric and gravel laid that the Palace have given to us. The Committee would like to thank all those who have contributed to this work, which has made significant improvements to the clubhouse. When the weed begins to recede we may look at helping it along with some weed clearance work - please look out for emails and Whats Apps.

Roof Fund - A separate fund has been set up, using some of the club's reserves, for the replacement of the clubhouse roof. A number of members have generously donated their Micro Magics and other boats that they no longer use and these are in the process of being sold to supplement the fund. This is greatly appreciated, and if any other members have boats, or equipment, they no longer use and that they would like to donate, please let a member of the Committee know.
Programmed DF95 sailing is now on Mondays - details are at the very end here - unfortunately now suspended due to weed.
