Flooding Update and Procedure

The water has been over the access road this week but not enough to prevent access. It has now receded a bit and is falling. With no recent rain and none forecast before Sunday it looks likely that we will be able to access the club and race this Sunday. 
With future flooding possible please note that the procedure regarding cancelling the race is as follows :
In order for racing to take place it must be possible for the emergency services to access the club via the road. As soon as it is clear that the water level is such that it could not possibly drop in time for racing on the Sunday then a notice will be put on the Jolly Sailor cancelling the race. OODs need then not turn up. This will be done by the Sailing Secretary or someone deputising, Once it has been cancelled it will not be reinstated. (There has been upset in the past when races have been cancelled and then reinstated without some being informed). If the level is marginal then the notice may not be posted until Saturday evening, It may also be the case that if marginal or the level rises overnight that it might get cancelled by the SOOD when they turn up on Sunday morning.
