Thursday 26 March
Dear Fellow Member and Friends,
I have to advise a correction to my last notification sent out this morning [Update #05} with regards to Shoreham Port only allowing designated commercial craft to use the lock. This is not currently the situation, with the guidance on the SYC website being revised to read; 'Your craft should not be used for recreational sailing and the port will encourage stake holders to follow government guidelines'.

Dear Fellow Member and Friends,
I hope you and your families are keeping safe in these troubled times.
Following the taking of expert advice this evening [Wed 25 March], I would like to advise the following:.
We have a new Admiral – the inspirational eighty-five years young David Skinner.
David has been an active member of the Club since 1971, when he joined with his young family. He was our Commodore in 1994 and, until recently, was still racing in his 42-foot ‘retirement boat’ with a crew of up to nine people.

Dear Fellow Member and Friends,
The announcement last night by the Prime Minister has brought forward plans we expected to be putting into place next week or the week after. The below is a summary of what is and will or will not be happening at the club as we know it today.
This may well change as government advice changes and if so, we will advise you again. I will not repeat things that I have previously said in notifications already sent.

Come and sail one of the clubs Sonars at Cowes week regatta in 2020.
Individual crew places, bare boat and skippered charters will be available to club members every day during the regatta.
The NCI lookout station on the western entrance to the harbour has, for a while, been able to respond to requests for inshore weather forecasts, radio checks, and AIS equipment checks on VHF Channel 65 (Call Sign 'Shoreham NCI').
Solent CG have now begun to request that calls to them for weather and radio checks are directed instead to NCI.
From April NCI Shoreham will join other south coast stations in broadcasting local weather conditions on Ch 65 at times to be announced.
