The
General Committee has tasked the Estates Officer
with the job of reorganising the Boat Park.
Why?
To tidy
ourselves up.
To
set aside an exclusive area for the club
boats behind the club house. (Designated
Blue Docks 1 & 2)
To identify
all of the boats in the park with the current
membership list.
To
identify the abandoned boats in
the current `graveyard' (Designated Orange, Dock
3) establishing ownership and inviting either the
removal of the hulls or the payment of overdue
membership subscriptions to the club.
The
consolidation of the use of the bays in the park
by filling Docks 6 (Green), 5 (Red) and 4
(Yellow) in an orderly manner, thus allowing all
boats to be secured with storm lashings,
furthermore; to allow owners to secure
their boat by wire rope or chain and padlock,
thereby helping to reduce the possibility of
damage by vandalism and to prevent any
unauthorised use or removal.
To
establish who owns what in the Trailer
park area.
Sound's
ok, what do I do?
Each
bay on the ground now has a reference number; the
colour code disc planted alongside the securing
stake identifies the bay and corresponds to the
colours and numbers shown on the boat park plan.
(Tags and Master Plan in situ from
16/10/04)
Please
check the bay you use and write the reference
number and boat type alongside your membership
details on the form adjacent to the Boat Park
Plan in the club house. Also please tell us if
you have a road trailer, you will need to see
that it is identifiable, tagged or with your name
painted on it. Please don't write the details
down on the scale plan.
If
you meet members that do not sail regularly
please ask them to pop in and add their details
to the list. Please don't add another member's
details to the list as this could cause
confusion.
If
you know of a person who owns a boat that is
currently parked in the `graveyard', please try
to let them know what is happening and ask them
to get in touch as soon as they can.
When
the committee has gathered information we will
contact some members to ask them to move their
boat to another allocated bay. For example in
order to clear the blue Docks, (1 and 2) for the
exclusive parking of the club boats.
As
things gather momentum, boats will need to be
moved down the park towards the water, filling
all of the bays in the docks completely, this
will allow new members to be allocated a vacant
bay when they join.
Once
the reorganisation is completed it will be
possible for members to swap bays with each other
as, by then, it will be straightforward to amend
the records to reflect the changes.
