With the AGM coming up we also need the nominations for the various posts on our club committees. Therefore the Nomination Sheet is now up on the notice board in the clubhouse. Please enter your nominations/volunteering positions on this sheet, plus proposer/seconder where possible. You can also volunteer for a vacant position without a proposer/seconder and any support can then be sorted out at the AGM.

Please come forward to help with running the club. There are many roles to be filled, requiring all sort of skills. As you know, the club is run entirely by volunteers and everyone’s input is important. If you not sure about what to do, please speak to the Commodore or any other committee member.

Membership Survey
We have a lot of members at the club, some more active than others, but all with a very personal set of interests and expectations for the club. And sometimes members might feel it difficult to make their voices heard. But every member counts, and the various committees need to know what our members want. So please take the time to fill in the Online Club Survey where you have a chance to give your opinion, make suggestions and ask questions.

Health and safety:

Blue-green algae - avoid contact with the lake water
 Especially in warmer weather, bloom and scum forming blue-green algae can produce toxins. These are quite normal occurrences in nature but can be harmful to some wild animals and most domestic pets. In humans, they have been known to cause rashes after skin contact and illnesses if swallowed. Not all blue-green algae blooms and scums are toxic, but you can’t tell just by looking at them, so it’s best to assume they are. People and pets therefore should not come into contact with lake water where algae are present (on or near the shore) to protect their health.

Defibrillator outside Workshop
Thanks to the support by the RALPHH Charity (Robert Allen, Life Promotion & Healthy Hearts Trust, www.ra-lphh.org) there is now a defibrillator available at the club. It is located outside the club compound with access from the footpath, on the western wall of the workshop, just opposite the river moorings. Its what3words location is:  ///conga.claw.comic
To use the unit in an emergency, ring 999, give your location and follow the instructions given, which include the numeric code to open the box.
