| 16/6/2008 All members with a slipway key are reminded that the Snarestone slipway may be unavailable for use later this summer. Once constuction works start on restoration, it will not be possible to access the slipway. (Warning about this was given in Spout last year). The date for starting work is not known - it all depends on the funding situation. There is also currently a problem for users with large or heavy trailers, due to the slipway having moved slightly. For the latest situation, contact Geoff Pursglove 01530 273956. |
| 21/5/2008 Volunteers are also sought for the Measham Festival on 28th June. If you can help in any way, please contact Steve Leary on 01530 274226 |
