Another pause due to Covid restrictions

We have suspended club activities in line with government directives once more.

Lets all pull together to make this next six weeks count and we hope to get back to some sailing soon.

We’re (socially distant-ly) back…

Under the current advice of government, LSC has determined that we can legitimately start sailing again.

This is great news, and we are intending to have our first sail this Saturday 16th May.

Please be prepared to take all the precautions for social distance and hand hygiene outlined in this document: https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/news/jsvvbcaa5hx3zulx.pdf

If there is any more news, we’ll post it here but at this time it will be a normal start (1:00) on a course to be advised on the day.

Take Care & see you on the lake.

Club activities suspended due to covid-19.

We have suspended club activities in line with government directives in light of the health threat posed by covid19.

We look forward to seeing old and new members on the other side and hope everyone stays safe.
