Dear Fellow Members,

With sadness I bring you details of how our Club will be operating during the four-week lockdown commencing on Thursday 5 November until Friday 4 December 2020.

Dear Fellow Members,

May I take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy New Year. 

With the deepest regret, I am obliged to advise you of measures that I have asked be put in place by the weekend in order to protect Members, Visitors and Staff from the rampaging virus variant now sweeping across our county. 

Sunday 1 to Wednesday 4 November 2020.

In the light of the Prime Ministers announcement yesterday evening, we are hoping you can find the time to come and help drink the old clubhouse bar dry before lockdown on Thursday.

With the enforced closure of bars and restaurants until December and the imminent move to the new building, it seems almost certain that these few days will be your last ever opportunity to enjoy our current clubhouse before the shutters are closed forever.

Steward Natalie and her team will be opening from 12:00 to 22:00 from Sunday 1 to Wednesday 4 November when the final last orders will be called, marking the end of an era.

Food will be available and there may also be spot-discounts on lines that need to be sold off.

Obviously, we will maintain social distancing and other covid measures to ensure your safety, and should you wish to book a table you can call the bar on 01273 453 717 or email the steward using steward@sussexyachtclub.org.uk

We do hope everybody can find the time to toast our old clubhouse with a warm farewell.
