Congratulations to the following members who passed with flying colours the club's first training course of 2012.

A big thankyou goes to Brian Tennuci, our volunteer RYA First Aid course leader who ran the course on behalf of the club.

Please note that an early draft plan of the proposed new Clubhouse is on display in the main clubroom together with a 'Comments Book' for members to air their views.

I have now purchased and paid for a 1 year subscription licsence to Drupal for http://kelvin2.drupalgardens.com .

Don;t worry - we'll rename this site to lossc eventually - and then when ready we'll re-point the standard url lossc.co.uk to this site - so it should all be transparent when we finally go live.
