We have assurances from the Council and Anglian Water that the sewerage discharge into the Thames stopped a few days ago. Whilst residue can still be seen, this will take some months of tide movements and beach cleaning to eradicate.
With this in mind I am pleased to say that Club Racing will resume this weekend.
Please be aware of you surroundings if launching from the beach and we would recommend that cadets capsize practice not to happen – far too cold now anyway.
I would also recommend that our cold water swimming fraternity stay in the swimming pools for the time being.

Angela sadly passed away having lost her fight against Alzheimer’s Dementia, surrounded by Brian, Jeremy and Tim.
A loving wife, mother and grandmother, and for almost 20 years a teacher at Bournes Green Junior School, Angela had been a member at TBYC since joining with her family in 1988.
The funeral is on Wednesday 10th November at 12.40pm at Southend Crematorium (No black ties please) and afterwards at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club.
Family flowers only, but donations in her memory may be made to Peaceful Place, Southend, via aradams.co.uk/donate.

Having looked at the advice from the Environmental Services and Anglian Water, the sewerage issue is no better. With advice not to enter the water and stay off some beaches, we feel it would be irresponsible to put our volunteers and sailors in harms way.
We have therefore decided to cancel racing for this weekend. I’m really sorry and hope that the situation is sorted very quickly. We’ve lost enough sailing recently as it is.
We will not be closing the slipway and if you wish to sail you may. Please be aware that cub ribs are not to be used so no safety cover will be available.

On Behalf of the RNLI Southend Lifeboat, I would like to thank the members of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club in your generous support of our cards and gifts sold last weekend in the main bar. We raised over £ 750 for the weekend going directly towards saving lives at sea. If anyone missed out or wanted more cards please do contact me.
