Have
you checked the Duty Roster?
With us being a club entirely run by members, we need everybody’s help, and
adult Sailing Members are expected to do three duties per year if they are
Assistants. Race and Duty Officers are asked to do five duties. Juniors under 16
and Social Members do not need to do any duties, but are invited to volunteer if
they wish.
Notices
Blue-green
algae -
avoid contact with
the lake water
Especially in warmer weather, bloom and scum forming blue-green
algae can produce toxins. These are
quite normal
occurrences in nature but can be harmful to some wild animals and most domestic
pets. In humans, they have been known to cause rashes after skin contact and
illnesses if swallowed. Not all blue-green algae blooms and scums are toxic, but
you can’t tell just by looking at them, so it’s best to assume they are.
People and pets therefore should not come into contact with lake water
where algae are present (on or near the shore) to
protect their health.

just opposite the river moorings. Its what3words location is:
