Are too few doing too much?

Since COVID-19 has rocked our world, Club Services Officers have been checking in with club committee members and most of them are sighing with relief at the break that COVID-19 is providing them with.  One said this was the first break he’s had for ten years from an every weekend commitment to his club. Another was just grateful to be able to focus on other projects and not think about the running of the club.

Port Esperance Sailing Club Destroyed

We are sad to inform you that just over a week ago, on the night of Thursday 23rd April, the Port Esperance Sailing Club in Dover was burnt down. All the club’s sailing dinghies were destroyed. The fire ripped through the back of the building, the roof and the recently re-built veranda. Although the brick part of the building still stands, it unfortunately will have to be demolished as it is now unsafe.
