Staff news:
You will all have come across George
Brown, our maintenance contractor who
kept the Club, dinghy park and gardens
looking neat and tidy. After 16 years of
service, George has decided to semi retire
and move on to pastures new. I am sure
you will join me in wishing him all the best
and thanking him for all he has done for
the Club.
Operations:
As you will have read on our various e-
newsletters, written communications or on
notices around the Club, we will be
undertaking a much overdue upgrade to
the kitchen in early January. This does
mean that the Club will have to close for a
short period of time and then reopen on a
limited service until the work has been
completed.
