Friendly Fridays – Friday 12th May

Following on from our first session of the season, titled ‘help with your rigging and launching’, we would like to try and get more of you on the water this Friday evening. So why not pop down for a ‘shake down sail’ or a ‘paddle in company’ with your fellow club members.

Slipway Repair

On Thursday 18th May, contractors will be removing the damaged concrete section along the south edge of the slipway and constructing shuttering with reinforcing steelwork. Friday morning 19th May concrete will be laid and should start to cure within 2-3 hours. These works should not hinder the launching of dingies or tenders but please do not obstruct the contractor as his work is only possible between tides.
