Unfortunately we had a member’s sailing yacht run aground to
the east of the marina. Members should be aware that there
is a fairly large shallow patch, with a depth of less than two
metres at Chart Datum, between the marina and the moorings.
It is not possible to place warning buoys due to the scale of the
shallow patch and, therefore, members should exercise caution
when navigating in this area especially at low tide. Please also
remember that the mooring blocks may be up to one metre
above the sea bed. Please see the chart opposite, which is for
reference only and should not be used for navigation.
There have been instances recently where members have
parked their cars in front of boat racks, or other operational
areas, and have not left their keys with either a security
guard or the car jockeys. In one case, this resulted in the
Club being unable to lift up a member’s boat from the rack
until the member who owned the car returned three hours
later. The General Committee have decreed that, in future,
members who do not comply with the parking regulations will
be reported to the General Committee and, after examining
the case, the Committee may remove the member’s parking
privilege for a period of time. If there is not a designated
marked parking space available, members who park outside
the designated area are required to either leave their car keys
in the car or leave the keys with the parking jockey, if on duty,
or otherwise with the gate security. Members who do not
comply with this may have their car moved by the Club and
will be charged accordingly.
And whilst parking is on the agenda, the Aberdeen Boat Club
has asked me to remind members that overnight parking
in the ABC car park is not allowed without permission from
ABC’s Manager.
The Puerto Galera Yacht Club is featured in our ‘reciprocal club’
feature this month. Members should also note that the Republic
of Singapore Yacht Club is offering a 10% discount to reciprocal
club members who wish to stay in the Marina Lodge. More
details on page 63.
Upon joining the Club, members, their spouses and members’
children are all entitled to use the Club’s facilities. Children over
8 Hebe jebes • NOV/DEC 2014
15 years of age are eligible to be granted a membership card of
their own at the request of the member. Children aged 14 and
under should be accompanied whilst on club premises, unless
they are on a structured sailing course. Children of members do
not have automatic rights to sign for food and beverages on the
member’s account. Members who wish to allow their children to
have signing rights should contact the Membership Executive
to arrange this, otherwise the children may use their Octopus
cards for F&B purchases.
報至執行委員會，在研究個案之後，執行委員會或會暫停該名會
員的泊車權利一段時間。如果沒有指定泊車位置，而會員把車輛
停泊在指定位置外，就必需把車匙留在車內，或交予當值的代客
泊車員工或大閘保安員，讓職員於必要時可作適當的安排。違規
會員的車輛可能會被移走，並需繳付有關費用。
The Committee are concerned that some members are not
supervising their children whilst at the Club. Recently, a group
of members’ children had to be stopped from climbing on top
of the balcony tables to look over the ten-foot drop below to
the dinghy parking area. Members should please supervise
younger children whilst at the Club. The Club wishes to thank
our member Mr Tommy Choi for donating a copy of the book
Round the World 2013 to the Club’s library. The book chronicles
Tommy and the HK Land Rover Club driving around the world,
taking in the Land Rover factory in England along the way. More
details in Ale Shek’s report on page 23.
