Thank’s for the update, Commodore! This is a matter close to our hearts, so it’s a shame that the ‘comments’ option was turned off. The best way to reduce conjecture is to repond quickly to members concerns. I’m sure that we’re all much happier now.

Unfortunately no one from General Committee attended the public meeting on the 16th at Shoebury High School which the members that did attend found disappointing and inexplicable.

A reminder – there is a follow up meeting hosted by Friends of Shoebury Common at Shoebury High School on Monday 16^th December 2013 from 7.30 pm to 10.00pm. The meeting will be chaired by Peter Holmes from BBC Essex Radio and will provide a further opportunity for questions and answers regarding the flood defence schemes.

For the past two weeks, we have been in discussion with the council in which we have advised our concerns with the detail of the operational aspects of the Councils proposals and the actual necessity of a flood gate on the area around the slipway and the cobbled ramp which may affect our launching and access. This is in addition to the aesthetic impact of replacing the railings to the West of the slipway with a raised sea wall.

The Council have replied in writing that the present indicative plans show that the opening would be as wide as the present gap and they welcome the opportunity to work in co-operation with the club and will do all possible to accommodate the club’s views and concerns with the design.

At this stage of the proposed development, there are no actual published design drawings of the proposed flood gate. The Council have agreed to an on site meeting to review the indicative plans and your General Committee will petition the Council to ensure that any flood gate will be unobtrusive and that our access to the slipway and beach will not be affected.

Further reports will follow as soon as the design is published.

A reminder that it is important that everything in the Dinghy Park is tied or padlocked down. Unfortunately this shows how easy others boats can be damaged. Please watch the video in full screen and you will see other boats lifting on their ties. Please respond to John if it is your sailboard.

Flying Board Video Unfortunately the Board landed on my grandchildren’s Pico, the fin on the board putting a hole in the deck.The board is an old 2.86 metre Tiga286 serial number XS0091. If it has an owner could they contact me on 586854 or at [email protected] John Casson

The General Committee have recognised that we have a lot more younger families that find cadet night starting too late.

From this week the club will be opening the bar and kitchen from 5 on Thursdays and we hope that it will allow everybody with younger families to dine and to get to know each other earlier on Cadet Nights.

Don’t forget if you are planning an Office Lunch,  Dinner or a meeting with a group of friends

for Christmas then come to the Club, Scott is ready to help you plan it and cater for you on the day.

To arrange a booking contact  Scott on 07717 027372

Found these sites very interesting for the Tidal Surge this morning. the Surge has been quoted as the largest since records began, eclipsing 1953 so it was pleasing to see a 3 foot gap between the top of the current Sea wall and the crest of the waves at 2am this morning. 2 beach huts were dislodged from their supports with one being destroyed. Amazing how many club members and rest of the public were up at 2am!

Also for those interested in the Proposed Sea Wall Build there is an exhibition at Uncle Toms Cabin this weekend Saturday and Sunday where the BBC will be interviewing and Broadcasting 11 am Sunday. I know there are alot of members who would like to know more and see for themselves so they can make informed decisions.
The quoted metric of 1 in 200 year risk happened in the early hours of this morning with Shoebury common and Thorpe Bay Sea Wall passing the test with flying colours.

hope the above is of interest,

cheers

Peter
