National Restrictions due to Covid-19
As you will be aware, the UK Government has announced that tighter restrictions are due to come into effect in England at 12:00 am Thursday 5th November and will remain in place for four weeks. The full details of the restrictions are yet to be announced and are subject to a vote in Parliament scheduled to take place on Wednesday. The RYA has committed to providing further guidance on Wednesday evening, or if that is not possible, on Thursday evening.
Until such detail is confirmed, we need to make a worst case assumption that Tudor Sailing Club will need to completely close for this four week period. This would mean no one would be able to access boats in the compound, or enter the Clubhouse, during this time (the only exception being that we would reinstate the regular Executive Committee safety and security checks).
If you need to take steps to prepare your boat for the winter (for example to remove sails), we strongly recommend you do this before Wednesday evening.
We will review the details of the Government’s announcement and the RYA Guidance, once these are available, before this weekend. If we are in a position to allow certain activities, for example to allow individual / household sailing or to allow work on boats in the compound, we will do so, gladly.
We will issue a further announcement as soon as we have completed this review.
In the meantime we wish you and your families well.

Waiting for the Tide
Well here we go again, just as I’m making a mental note to get as much work done early this year, just in case there are restrictions that make things difficult closer to the cruiser relaunch, we get another lockdown – just to prove the point!
I have included the main text from the recent Webcollect email above, just to make sure everyone has seen it.
In the Diary Dates section below I have added ‘presumed cancelled’ to the two Frostbite races as that seems likely, but there will be another Tidal Diamond before the first race where I can provide an update. The RYA briefing is Wednesday evening following guidance being confirmed from the Government, so more details with be avilable to us then – assuming there are no delays to the information being available of course!
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world, even though this lockdown is slightly different things are far from normal. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.
Stay safe.
