Unfortunately over the weekend clothing has been taken from the ladies changing room. May I ask all members to be vigilant and not to leave valuables in the changing rooms. The back door of the club is to remain closed at all times and not propped open. However this is a good time to remind members that when in sailing attire access to the changing rooms and toilets should always be by the back door to assist keeping the club cleaner and nicer for all members.
If any member has lost items over the weekend please email me direct so that I am aware.
A shame to have a negative post but members need to be aware.
Can I also use this post to say a big thank you to all those involved organising and helping run a very successful regatta weekend in strong winds. 46 boats took part and it was particularly pleasing to see so many cadets out racing on the big course. Well done to all.
