- Take-away food will remain available from Halyards between 9am and 3pm. Please access the ‘Grab and Go’ area via the gate at southern end of the Clubhouse (near ‘A’ Arm). The chefs will have a range of take-home meals available and we will also have our usual take-away meals listed on the whiteboard at the take-away window.
- Waterfront staff will be on hand to check vessels. Should you have any concerns about your boat please do not hesitate to contact Reception.

- The Gym will be closed; however, Tana will be running outdoor classes, P/T and Zoom sessions for those interested. If you would like to be involved, please contact Tana on 0478 034 659.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM is to be held at the Club on Thursday 22 July 2021. Full members of the Club will receive details of the upcoming AGM early next week in the mail. The details include a Ballot Timetable for the Election of Officers. You will note that two of the specified dates fall within the period of lockdown. The remaining available days that the ballot will be open comply with the requirements of the Club’s Constitution.
No doubt there will be further changes to our operations over the coming days. I will keep you updated as quickly as possible over the lockdown period.
Please look after yourself and those around you.
Kind regards,
Craig Evans
General Manager
