Notice to members

Following the PM’s announcement on Sunday and the detail document released yesterday. Your committee are now working hard to assess this information along with any guidance from the PLA, RNLI, Essex Marine Police and the RYA who either govern our stretch of water or are stakeholder in our sport.

More information is imminent, and we would ask you to be patient just a little longer whilst we sift through the detail to get us safely back on the water and to our boats as soon as possible.

We are meeting again tonight and tomorrow at which point we hope to notify all the first steps to getting us on the water rules and permitting.

Kind Regards Steve Hopper Commodore

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I would like you all to be reassured that your committee are doing everything in its power to explore and plan how we get our fantastic club back to Sailing, Racing and Club activities. We fully expect this to be a staged approach however we are planning for all eventualities.

We as a general committee continue to meet weekly (via Webex) and have scheduled our next meeting on Monday evening following the PM’s advice due on Sunday.

We have already had several in depth meetings in addition to GC weekly meeting, to discuss how we may conduct activities safely and within potential guide lines to get as prepared as we can. We have further discussed, and are currently coming up with ways we can open the club. However this as you can imagine may be more difficult if social distancing continues, but not impossible with the right forethought.

Following the PM’s revised guidelines on Sunday GC will meet Monday evening at 19.30 as scheduled to discuss how it effects our club and how we proceed. At this point I will contact all members via all mediums as before Club Website, Club Facebook page, emails and letters to those less techie members.

Again personally as your Commodore may I thank you all for your support and kind words.

The one positive for me out of these unprecedented time, is what wonderful members we have and how lucky I am to represent our Club.

I would also like to add, whilst we cannot celebrate VE Day at our club we would still like to see pictures of your celebrations.  So please send or post your pictures and we will put them in to a montage picture and post on all mediums

Stay Safe and Well

This is the club in it’s full VE Day Regalia, even though we are still in Lockdown.

It is being enjoyed by many walkers.

The Crouch Harbour Authority have issued the following joint statement with the Essex Police Marine Police. It covers Do’s and Don’t during Lockdown as a reminder, so worth a read.

Dear Cadets and Parents,

I would like to recommend the RYA YouTube Channel.
#SailFromHome RYA
The “Sail Smarts” series has started for kids.
Check it out!
There are many other good resources on sailing on YouTube and online.
Sadly at present we can’t do much more than that.

I hope that we can safely get back to sailing again at one point in the future.

Best wishes from Andras
