From Our Commodore
Dear Member(s)
I hope you are all well and staying safe.
It will be no surprise to you that following the latest Government advice the club will sadly remain closed for at least another three weeks. As this is far from ideal, the general committee continues to meet weekly to work out how to engage our members.
With this in mind, I’m sure you have noticed an increase in notices, games, virtual reports and offers of help to those in need, along with other ideas we have implemented. We also continue business as usual from an administration point of view. The club office is open from Tuesday to Friday.
There are several ideas which will be put into action during the next week, including Howard Warrington’s Virtual Regatta Racing, information videos and a training guide for cadets. An online quiz is also planned, so keep checking Facebook and the club website for what’s going on.
Many members have excelled and continue to do so, producing witty reports, and Jeremy Sandford, has been manufacturing protective visors for care workers using a 3D printer. All of this makes my job, in these difficult times, almost a joy.
Finally, I would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting our fantastic club. I wrote to you just recently and out of 1,100 members nearly all have not only paid to support our club but have sent messages of encouragement to both the general committee and me, personally.
So, in the meantime, stay safe and well. I look forward to celebrating with you all, both on and off the water soon.
Your sincerely
Steve Hopper, Commodore
