Corona Virus Update

Corona Virus Update

I doubt that this announcement will come as a great surprise to anyone, in view of the current government restrictions on social interaction and leisure activities, but the Committee have decided that we now have no option but to formally close our lake to all boating activity.

Whilst the Club can not directly police this 24/7, all members are urged to abide by this decision and refrain from sailing at any time, until further notice.

All is not doom and gloom, however. Now that most of us are in enforced semi-isolation, we should have plenty of time available for boat building in the hope of happier times which will, undoubtedly and eventually, come.

So dust down the workshop, sharpen the chisels and pencils and get building. Even if you do not think you are a boat builder, have a go at the Commodore's Challenge announced a few days ago. The Ferret MTB is a very simple and cheap boat to build, well within the capabilities of most of us, even if we only have the kitchen table as a workshop.

While you are engaged in all this building activity, keep us up to date with your efforts, or anything else you are doing to pass the days, and we will post your contributions on this site. Remember a picture is worth at least a thousand words, but a few words as well will not go amiss. Mail your copy and pictures to Geoff Garside at geoff@geoffgarside.com.
