Following the sad passing of our friend Graham Dare, the club now requires a Results Officer.

Ideally suited to someone perhaps retired or working from home?

Role: To collect or have emailed the weekend’s results and input into HalSail Results system. This is a cloud based system and you will have a login which you can access remotely. Ensure timely uploading of results. The system does all the calculations for you but a degree of accuracy entering the times is needed.

You would sit on the Sailing Committee but this is not essential if you didn’t wish to do so.

Please email [email protected]  if you are interested to help?

Thank you

Howard

Rear Commodore

It is with deep sadness that we learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll.
Both our Club flag and the Ensign have been lowered to half mast and will remain lowered as a mark of respect to our longest serving and much loved Monarch until the morning after Her Majesty’s funeral.
Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
God Save The King.

*** Update *** 02/09/2022 *** Showers are now back on *** The ladies showers now have levers to switch them on and off, while I appreciate that they are not the most attractive, they should function better than the taps that were in place that had broken and be easier to replace in the future should any problems arise **

*** 01/09/2022 Update ** All of the taps are being replaced on Friday.  Therefore they should all be working for the weekend.

Please note that the ladies showers have currently been switched off as two of the taps are broken and we cannot isolate one of them on its own.

We have called our very helpful plumber in to get the problem resolved as soon as possible. But at this time of water shortages we did not want to leave it leaking. Therefore all of the showers are currently not able to be used. If we cannot make a fix by the weekend, we will switch them back on when needed and then isolate them again.

Thank you for your patience while we resolve this issue.

Regards
