Hi All, I hope you are keeping safe and well. Here at the club it has been a peculiar time.
Whilst we are on suspension of business as usual I am reminded daily of what a fantastic club we have, full of selfless, like-minded people. I receive so many words of encouragement and support.
We have had many offers from members, willing to help other members. If you are not going out but need essential supplies or medication, they are there for you.
Contact the club by email to [email protected] or by phone 01702 587563. If the phone doesn’t answer, call 07969 598309. A volunteer will be happy to assist.
We will, of course, keep in touch and update you all regularly.
Regards
Steve Hopper

It is with great sadness and regret that we inform the club of the death of my Father, Peter Hancock on Monday 23rd March at Southend General Hospital.
Dad was very active in the cruiser section of the club in the 1990s, (sailing with Mike Root on ‘Ruspina’), and served as Vice Commodore during his membership. He always enjoyed his time at the club on and off the water and I’m sure he will be remembered by many members. Peter was also active at Thorpe Hall Golf club, Thorpe Bay Bowls club, and Rochford Rotary.
Peter had been residing in Joseph House Nursing Home, Shoeburyness, since December 2019, following a series of health issues.
Unfortunately, due to the current corona virus situation the funeral will be restricted to immediate family only. However the family intend to hold a memorial service for Peter at a later date.
Peter will be greatly missed by family and friends, leaving behind wife Maureen, daughter Sarah, son Lee and four grandchildren.
Kind Regards to all
Sarah Speller (Nee Hancock)

As a result of government, RYA and PLA advice the dinghy park is closed and water activities are suspended until further notice.
Unfortunately, this means that no work can be carried out on boats nor can they leave or be brought to the club.
Cruiser and Sandhopper lift-in will take place as soon as is allowed. It will be one of our priorities. We are all keen to get back on the water.
The committee is reviewing the situation constantly and currently having to react to new advice and guidance.
In the weeks to come the club will rely, a good deal, on the goodwill and support of its members.
If anyone needs help – shopping, chatting, transport – please get in touch.
In the meantime, stay safe and well.
Happy Sailing soon, we hope.

Port of London – River Thames NOTICE TO MARINERS No.6 of 2020 – 24 March 2020
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES
We are issuing this in line with current Government Coronavirus guidance, placing restrictions on movement.
To reduce social contact, travel and potential strain on emergency services, we strongly recommend that all recreation and leisure activities on the tidal Thames are avoided until further notice.
Our priority at the PLA is to help ensure the UK continues to receive essential supplies of food, fuel and medical goods at this time.
As a result, we expect to have a reduced capability in responding to recreational incidents on the river.
To support our essential port operations, we are reducing the operating hours of our harbour service patrols between Putney and Teddington.
We are grateful for your co-operation in these exceptional circumstances.

Following tonight’s message from our Prime Minister. The General Committee have now decided that the time has come to sadly, close the dinghy park. We are sure you will all understand the reasoning behind this. Other than going to work, shopping, walk or a run, we are to remain at home.
We ask all members to respect this decision and not enter the dinghy park or attempt to go for a sail. The reflection back on the club that we all love would not be favourable. This includes boat maintenance.
We will of course, review the situation constantly and look forward to being back on the water when the situation allows.
Thank you for your co-operation and please stay safe and well. Keep watching the website and Facebook for updates and info.
