The Dinghy Park is now ready for the season.

Last Monday we completed the re surfacing and many thanks to Steve Hopper, Alan Grant and Nigel Payne for helping to rake out the 105 tonnes of shingle and not forgetting Graham in the Burrows digger who did his part.

The Dinghy Park Plan is on the notice board in the lobby and could all owners check your location to ensure all dinghies and cats are in their allocated slots.
