I can’t remember who was present last Tuesday, so have reproduced Ann’s letter here to those concerned.
“Dear Friends
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you who turned out to pay your respects to Roy last Tuesday. It was so sad that you could not attend the service itself but from the family’s point of view, it almost felt like more of a tribute.
We drove past the Yacht Club, Bowls Club and finally the Golf Club. All clubs that Roy had spent a good deal of time and had a host for friends for many years.
It was extremely touching for us all to see you lining the road, despite the rain, and I thank you very much.
Hi all as always the rules and guidance that we have to consider whilst administrating each element of our club are continually changing. However we as a committee pride ourselves in trying to keep ahead of the curve.
This now focuses us in how and if we can reopen the changing rooms. We see this as a priority with winter sailing now looming. Fortunately lots of work around social distancing and possible layout has already been done. We now need in light of changing guidelines to workout if we don’t fall foul of the rules and guidelines then implementing our plan.
With this element of the club like many others before there is a process and we will at all times report to you the members how this will work or if not possible at this time our thought process why it can not.
Assuming we can there will as always be guidance on how we can use this facility under the restrictions imposed during Covid 19. This guidance as always will be born from planning, execution, risk assessment and issue of guidance.
In the mean time stay safe enjoy the water, our fantastic club and we will continue to make it our priority to keep TBYC a safe environment during these unprecedented times
All those who applied for above we now have your Winter storage stickers please collect from me over this weekend when I will be around during sailing times.For those of you storing Picos i would ask that you attend the club either between 1030hrs – 1400hrs on saturday or Sunday immediately after racing finishes to assist putting on the racks as I intend to sail first on sunday weather permitting! Those of you not staying for the winter it is important your boats are removed this weekend. Those with miscellaneous sailing equipment in the dinghy park i.e parts of windsurfers etc are asked to remove from the racks as these are to be used and anything you no longer wish to use please dispose of rather than leave lying in the dinghy park for somebody else to dispose of. There is no room for trailers to be left in the dinghy park unless they have there respective boat on them which has paid winter storage.
