We live in interesting and challenging times. The Covid-19 Pandemic has forced us to carefully evaluate how we go about our daily lives.
After much consideration your Board has made decisions about the operation of the yacht club. In making these decisions we are mindful of the Prime Ministers message of going on with our lives, but with some restrictions and precautions in place. To this end we believe we as a club should continue to operate as best we can in the circumstances that we are faced with. It is a focus for many individuals and we have a tenant to protect as well.
At this point in time we will not be closing the club, but we have necessarily cancelled some events and activities. The landscape is changing constantly. We will keep updated if anything changes.
IF YOU ARE UNWELL OR SHOW ANY SYMPTOMS - DON’T COME TO THE CLUB!!!
