As a committee we took the decision back in March to continue to plan for a Cadet week, but not to put out the application forms due to the uncertainty of the duration of lockdown. The General Committee have been meeting on a weekly basis, closely monitoring the guidance from the Government and subsequent changes to the advice given by the RYA and PLA.
Having reviewed the planned changes to restrictions issued last week and even with the gradual lifting of lockdown, the obstacles were too big for us to provide a safe event on and off the water. We have therefore taken the decision to cancel this year’s Cadet Week. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, we are disappointed but feel it is the right decision.
As the summer progresses I look forward to seeing more people re integrating with the club and getting back on the water in whatever form that may be. When as a club we are able to organise activities safely, we will look at the remaining planned Cadet programme for the season and issue further guidance.
The Guidance for visiting the opening club has been placed on this website and previously sent by email. A video has been produced to guide you through the process which would be wise to view before visiting.
This message is for those whose boat in the dinghy park has a mast. Please ensure that halyards are secured away from the mast.
Your volunteer committee has plenty to do with the day to day running of the club. Please don’t add “smoothing ruffled feathers” to the workload.
Let’s be good neighbours.
Thank you.
Firstly, as always, please may I thank all of our wonderful members for your co-operation, understanding, patience and continued support. Your Committee are very appreciative.
We are now following revised guidance from HM Government, working hard at getting our Club House back open at the earliest opportunity.
It is our intention to re-open the Club House on Saturday 4th July. However, our primary concern as always is to provide as safe an environment as possible under Covid 19 restrictions. This will be a low key return with many safety measures (more guidance to follow).
In short, such measures will be:
Advise to visit only if well and not experiencing any coronavirus symptoms or anxious in any way
Practical steps such as one-way systems
Screens and social distancing markings
Seating only with limited space. Please do not be disappointed if the Club is full, it is for everyone’s safety
Bar, food and toilets only, no changing facilities
Cleaning stations and sanitizer at all tables
Increased cleaning regime Signing in book to be completed by all members to comply with NHS track and trace.
The above is just some of the key measures, full details will follow shortly, and all will be displayed on Club TVs and around the Club. Also, as always, information will be circulated to all via email, Club website, Club Facebook and letters to those who do not have access to electronic communications.
I would again rely upon your co-operation with these restrictive measures and please understand the controls have been very carefully considered for the safety of members and staff.
