15th March Work Party

Your help is needed  this Saturday just to clear the access road only of timber debris. If any one has a chain saw to cut up the larger logs that would be great.
We need to stack the timber on the lake side of the road but clear of the Fishing areas.
It is necessary to  keep members cars at the top of the road to avoid further damage to the road surface.
The  boat park is still a mess and needs to dry out before we can move the boats and clear up.

Latest Situation 9th March

 
Access to the club is now possible but please avoid driving down the lane until further notice as it may cause more damage which will then require further repair. Although the water has retreated, the whole area is very soggy so any significant activity will churn up the ground and make a worse mess that we already have. Members will be concerned about their boats but please keep any visits to a minimum. Work parties will be organised as soon as it is has dried enough to make clearing up possible. This may be possible next weekend – watch this space. 
 
Sunday 16th Racing is Cancelled
 
Note there is no access to the club from the Oxfordshire side as the B478 between the roundabout in Sonning Eye and the Henley Road is closed due to damage, access is via Sonning Bridge only .

Work Party

The work Party this Saturday is cancelled

 

Please do not try and drive down the access road to the Club, until the Committee has assessed the damage to the road and repairs are carried out

Latest News

The lane is pretty much blocked to vehicle traffic by lots of large logs and branches. It is going to take some effort to clear it. I got down to the club in wellies.

There is a green 420 dinghy which has become detached and is lying in the trees alongside the lane. About 100 metres from the club gate. It is floating but is uncovered. Only way to get to it is via the lake. Also a boat is submerged in the water in front of the old water ski club. Cannot tell make as can only see the top of the mast.

ST Valentines Day Storm Aftermath

Dave P and Dave I got the dinghy out and photographed the mayhem at RSC.  We righted a some boats, shut up the ski shed doors and rescued some stray kit. Most boats are now tied to something, and the access to the river has been blocked, big thanks to Brian and Richard.  Lots of water – up to our nether regions, so don’t attempt to wade up lane. No water in the clubhouse at all, hallelujua.
