Sailing Is Back!

Posted by Chris on Jun 5, 2020 in Members, Sailing, Social | Comments Off on Sailing Is Back!

It’s been a long time and we’ve been working busy behind the scenes to try and get you back out on the water as soon as possible. At all times we need to consider the safety of our members and also follow Government and RYA Guidelines and so the return is gradual and there are some restrictions you need to be aware of. These have been mailed to all members and Sunday 14th June is the date for your diary! Clubhouse AccessIn line with the Government guidelines we still cannot open the Clubhouse, with the exception of access to the...

Further Coronavirus Update

Posted by Chris on May 19, 2020 in Members, Sailing, Social, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Further Coronavirus Update

Following the government’s recent advice about the changes to Coronavirus restrictions and the advice that unlimited exercise is now allowed we have been looking at what may be possible for sailing and our members. Whilst it is clear that sailing individually is allowed, as a club event this still remains difficult.  The recent rule changes are quite clear – the restrictions on clubs and social gathering have not been lifted however you are now able to meet ONE other individual from outside your household in the open air,...

Covid-19 Closure Update

Posted by Chris on Apr 21, 2020 in Members, Sailing, Social, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Covid-19 Closure Update

In our last update we advised that the club would be closed until the end of April and that we would provide an update shortly after Easter as to the availability of the club and when we intended to re-open. At the risk of sounding like a Government Daily Press Briefing, we will at all times follow Government advice and as I’m sure many of you are aware the current Lockdown on the country has been extended until at least the 7th May. Given this extension it would be irresponsible of us to ignore this and open up the club, so the current...

Blue Grey Algae Update

Posted by Chris on Jul 5, 2019 in Members, Sailing, Social | Comments Off on Blue Grey Algae Update

We would like to re-assure our members, and visitors, that the Blue Green Algae currently affecting Rother Valley Country Park is not impacting on our water at Harthill Reservoir and all our sailing and swimming activities continue as normal. We did have an outbreak in 2018, that was dealt with accordingly, particularly as it provides an increased risk to our Outdoor Swimming section. This year we have taken additional precautions to hopefully prevent its re-appearance, however should any suspicions arise that it may be present they will be...
