Important club update

We are continuing to closely monitor the evolving situation with Covid-19 (Coronavirus). The health and well-being of our members is of the highest importance to us. We have been monitoring the Government guidelines and the RYA’s advice over the last 24 hrs and have therefore made the difficult decision to close the clubhouse, and CANCEL ALL racing / activities at OSC until 1st May 2020.  

Key Points 
Please can I urge all members not to enter the clubhouse until further notice.
If you feel fit and well, then you can still access the dinghy park for any necessary maintenance you need to carry out on your boat(s). 
If you or family members do have health issues or Covid-19 symptoms then please do not visit the club. 
Cancelled Duties will be re-allocated later in the season. 
The Open Day and Enterprise Inland Championships will both be postponed until further notice. 
The closure period may be extended but we will be closely monitoring the situation and will issue further updates to members in due course. 
The committee meetings will still go ahead but via “Teams” which is an online meetings App. Our secretary will issue the Committee with instructions. 
At the April committee meeting discussions will be held regarding how we might be able to permit some sailing activity to take place. This is in-line with RYA guidelines providing we can put sufficient protection measures in place.

We will of course continue to send out any further updates.

Thanks for your ongoing support during this difficult time.  

I hope you will all be able to stay healthy and well during this unprecedented period.
